Basic Trip Planning Workshop March 4th

Recommended Posts

When running a trip, it is easy to just announce a launch time and location and hope for the best, but to actually plan and execute a safe and successful trip for all involved can be challenging.  However, with a good foundation of trip-planning knowledge and some practice, trip planning can become an easy but worthy skill to have.  This Basic Trip Planning Workshop is designed for paddlers who want to plan basic day trips in mild coastal or sheltered waters, and can be used as a precursor to the Advanced Trip Planning Workshop the following weekend.  It can also be used for seasoned trip planners who wish to get back to basics to see if there is anything that they are missing.  Some of the basic trip planning topics that we will cover include:

  • Basic chart reading
  • Finding information for weather, tides, and currents
  • Deciding where to go
  • How to post and manage the trip
  • Other various considerations

This workshop will be both instructional and interactive, and will include actual trip planning exercises of one or more popular NSPN destinations.  We will be at the Reading REI Community Room on Sunday March 4th from 11:30am to 4:30pm.  If you would like to attend, you must RSVP on the calendar event by clicking on the GOING button so we can keep track of the group size.  If you have any questions, feel free to post them here or email Robert@nspn.org and I will try to answer as quickly as possible.
