Its that time of year again…summer has finally arrived and its time to head off down the A30 not forgetting trailer and boat !!
As previously we will have the pleasure of the CVRDA for company so lets make it a good one. The Lakeside field is booked as is the BBQ for saturday night we just need you to make the weekend complete. Go on… this is your chance to stretch out, hike the boat flat and go for it… you know it makes sense.
Situated on the Devon/Cornwall border, Roadford is a great inland sailing venue set in lovely countryside.
The club have arranged a weekend trip which is open to all members. CVRDA will also be there for the weekend, so it will be a great chance to socialise and race. There will be organized racing and/or the opportunity to just sail the lake, which extends to over 730 acres.
Camping is available by the lake, with showers, hookups etc. at a very reasonable price. (If you require power, please book direct). For non-sailors there are walks around the lake and access to some stunning countryside. We will have the lakeside area of the campsite as usual.
This is a great chance to sail on a large inland venue and to socialise with other club members. Provisional programme is as follows:
Arrive Friday evening
Saturday 10.00 Briefing
Picnic for all somewhere on the lake
2.00 Race
3.00 Race
Evening Barbeque, (barbecue provided, bring your own food and drink).
Sunday Opportunity to race with Roadford sailing club, or just sail!
Travel time is approx. 2.5 hours from Warminster and very easy. From the club take the A350 south then the A303 which becomes the A30 and continue past Exeter and Okehampton until you see the brown signs to follow to Roadford Lake. Be aware the slip road is very close to the first sign! Cross the dam and continue round to the watersports centre.
Costs – launch fee £10 per boat per day. Camping £4.50 per person per night. Hookup extra.
Dogs are permitted.
It would be very helpful if we could have an indication of numbers in advance and therefore would be grateful if you could let us know via this link
