Lake District Holiday
Wednesday 27th June 2018
This morning we decided to go for a paddle on Ullswater lake. We also wanted to find out about hiring a sailing boat so we parked up and walked round to the area that hires out boats to enquire.
We got the kayak all inflated and ready to go and set off round the lake. After about a 1 1/2 miles we stopped on Norfolk Island for lunch!
It was very hot so I took the opportunity to cool down by getting in and having a paddle.
Back in the kayak we continued on further round the lake. This section was the deepest bit of the lake getting up to 60m deep in the middle! At about 3 1/2 miles we decided to cross to the other side and make our way back up the otherside of the Lake stopping off at a beach to stretch our legs and cool down again!
By the time we got back to the shore we had paddled about 6 1/2 miles. Looking at the map afterwards we could see that there was a lot more lake up the other end an could be a trip for another day.
Back at the apartment we sorted everything out and got some dinner on the go ready for a relaxing evening!!
It looks like the weather is going to stay like this for the rest of the 2 weeks! We have never had such hot weather on our holidays!!
