How to go camping by kayak
The purpose of the trip is help people not familiar with regular kayak and camping. We will meet at the meet time below, then I (and any other experienced people) will assist people who need help to pack their kayaks. There will be no rush - we will take as long as is needed.
We will then paddle to the campsite, unpack the kayaks, pitch tents etc. then go for a paddle based on weather and time available. If the weather is not good instead of a paddle the plan B is to go for a walk so bring trainers or something comfortable for walking in.
In late afternoon, we will head back to campsite change into warmer clothes and get ready for the evening

Food wise:
As is our tradition, we enjoy shared snacks before dinner (e.g. Chips, dips, cheese & crackers, nuts, Humus & Vegi’s etc.)
We will cook dinner.
I will have a spare cooker – that people who do not have cookers can share
You need to bring your own dinner with you.
Most of the below are examples of packaged food that you can buy at the supermarket. Prices vary from $2.60 - $7.00. Most of these dishes are in sachees – that can be put in boiling water to heat. They are “Long Life” type food that does not need to be refrigerated.
