Holiday - Lake District - Day 8 - Ullswater Sailing and Walk to Aira Force and High Force

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!
