Join
the boat at Ferry Nab Slipway, Bowness on Windermere,
LA23 3JH. |
 |
| |
|
|
|
|
After
a short familiarisation with the boat, head north
to Bowness.
Maybe
pick up an ice cream [or a BLT if you haven't had
breakfast] before continuing north to Ambleside.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
There's
a 10 knot speed limit on the lake but that's fast enough
to get on the plane. Or, we can take it steady, follow
the north east shore line and enjoy the scenery. |

|
Lunch
|
Moor
up at Ambleside for lunch. Break open a picnic, eat
at the Wateredge
Inn, or stretch your legs and wander in to the
town for something to eat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cross
the lake and head south down the west shore line.
Fancy
a go at kneeboarding or wakeboarding? Now's your
chance! The 10 kts (12 mph) speed limit is just enough
to
have a go.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dry
off and take a breather - moor up around the islands
in Bowness bay. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We've
only seen half the lake at this point. Now head south
and explore the southern end. Have another go at wakeboarding
or relax and enjoy the scenery. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe
stop for a drink or an ice cream at Fell
Foot Park (National
Trust - entry FOC) before
returning. |

Return
to Ferry Nab Slipway |
|
| |
|
|
or 
I
have enough buoyancy aids for everyone [including child
sizes] and one or two wetsuits but better to bring your
own if you have them
I'm
sure you will appreciate this is for safety and comfort
