The 6th annual Oxfam Exeter to Exmouth Kayak Rally on Saturday 9 July, organised by Exe Sailing Club, proved quite challenging with brisk South Westerly cross winds. There were concerns with the forecast earlier in the week that last year’s experience would be repeated when the event was stopped short at The Turf and the paddlers returned back to Exeter in the sheltered waters of the canal.
