Kayaking on Lake Windermere
Open top boats for £15 a day
After a while it became obvious that these boats were only useful for short periods, the lack of a decent seat and nowhere to jam your knees to help control the boat as well as support your back. These may be good fun in the surf and for playing around with the kids but definitely not my first choice. I'm so pleased we didn't buy this type
For a girl that can't swim, she shows no fear of water
However we were extremely fortunate with the weather as you can see from the pictures, the sun just never stopped shining for the entire week, five days clear blue skies and temperatures between 18 and 20 degs. During the day on the lake we found another caravan site right on the lake shore. Fallbarrow, so we beached the kayaks and went off to find the office, this was even better,Caravans right on the lake side, secure boat storage and they offer cut price deals at the beginning and end of the season, after leaving our details so they could post us a brochure, gong back to the boats we met a man and his wife from Redcar who were in one of the chalets on the lake shore, he invited us in, even (though we had all our wet kit on ) they were sparkling clean inside, en-suite, big flat screen tv central heating the works. We will be returning here!! The boats were hired from canoe and kayaking on ferry Nab road Bowness, the young lady in the shop is extremely helpful as well as knowledgeable with regard to kayaking. She gives good advice on where to go and what to do
