Hey there! It’s time to cash in your leave and skip class because we are planning a multi-day sea kayaking adventure in Jervis bay. The last time we did this it was super fun and had a great chilled time on amazing beaches. Some experience paddling is preferred as we are hoping to cover over 50kms or so in the 3 days. We will be paddling during the day and taking camping gear in the kayaks and camping at night so make sure that you are prepared. You don’t need to know how to roll to attend this event, however prefrence will be given if you have shown enthusiasim for kayaking in the past. People who own cars with roof racks will also have preference, as we are desperately looking at ways to get the boats there, so if this is you please contact me! We will meet at the UNSW Tramshed (HERE) at 3:30pm on 26th March (Thursday) and camp in Jervis near the start of the paddle to get started early on the 27th. We will return to Sydney late on the 29th (Sunday).
