Lake District Holiday
Saturday 30th June 2018
This morning we decided to head back to Ullswater to hire a sailing boat. We had looked into it the day we went there for a paddle. Our boat was a Seafarer.
While we got changed and ready they prepared the boat for us. Once in the boat and Tim got us going he explained the different bits I needed to know and what to do. He took us up the lake to a nice clear area where I could then take the helm! Due to the mountains around us the wind was very variable. We spent 2 hours going back and forth, up ad down round the lake. I really enjoyed my sailing experience!
Once back on land we got dried off and changed and found a spot to sit for lunch looking over the lake. It was lovely sitting in the sun watching the boats as there was a breeze today.
We decided that this afternoon we would walk up to Aira Force and High Force.
This evening we went to the pub for dinner and then had a relaxing evening. Tomorrow we are planning an early start to walk the Fairfield Horseshoe avoiding the heat so an early night is in order!
