Lake District Holiday
Thursday 28th June 2018
Today we planned to have a look round Keswick and then go to Kettlewell Car Park on Derwent Water for a paddle.
We got to Keswick around 10 and had a look round the shops and visited the pasty shop! By the time we left and got to Kettlewell car park there were no spaces and everyone seemed to be settled by the lake for the day!! It was so hot we weren't surprised. We abandoned the idea of paddling on Derwent Water and decided to make our way to Bowness-On-Windemere. Not having that map with us it took us a little while to find the correct place to be for lunching! Eventually we found it, unloaded the stuff and got ourselves ready. It was so nice to get in the water!
We went down the East side and after 2 1/2 miles we decided to cross the lake and come back up the other side. At about 5 1/2 miles we thought we would just quickly go round the island and back to the slip way. We hadn't quite realised how much island there was! It seemed to go on for ever!!
Although not our original plan we had a nice paddle on Lake Windemere and there was a bit of a breeze!
We headed back to the apartment via Booths in Windemere to get a bit more food shopping. Got everything tidied up and showered before dinner and a relax. It is very hot in the apartment this evening even with windows open, fan going and blinds down!!
