And of course - Conwy Ascent Saturday 25th May 2024

John will also want me to mention the Coquet Island race that is usually a Saturday in mid-June, and the Oban Sea Kayak Race which I believe is usually in August (Bank Hol weekend last year).

Not sure of the dates for Coquet, but Oban will be the August bank holiday, and of course there is the Ravenglass seaquest on the 24th June.
