Holiday - Lake District - Day 2 - Lake Windemere Kayaking and Walk to Stock Ghyll Force

Lake District Holiday

Sunday 24th June 2018
We woke up this morning to glorious sunshine.  

We decided to go for a paddle on Lake Windemere.  There is a launch point in Ambleside.  We got everything ready and set off towards Windemere.

After about 3 miles we decided to stop for some lunch.  We found a nice spot where a stream joined into the lake.

After lunch we decided do a short paddle and do a little walk later on. When we set off again we decided to cross the lake and make our way back up the other side.  It was a lovely paddle with the mountains in the view.

Back on the beach we dried off the kayak and had an ice cream while the sun dried the rest of it off!


Back at the apartment we got cleaned up, had a rest and decided on where we were going to go for our walk.  There is a waterfall in the valley up behind where we are staying.  



After the waterfall we continued to follow the stream into Ambleside.  We had a little wander around to see what shops there are there and then headed back to the apartment.  We made some dinner and then watched a film with out feet up!

Tomorrow we are planning on walking up Scafell Pike!
