Living the dream

A highland existence interspersed with regular travels and running a charity in Nepal

Derwentwater - Canoe 20th September 2009

Drove north from Wrynose via Blea Tarn and Langdale (seen here) which looked a picture in the early autumn sunshine, There was a half and full marathon taking place as we passed through the valley. Seemed like quite a hot and dry day to be running a marathon.

Arrived at the Camping Club site outside Keswick and set up camp.

Derwentwater was particularly lovely that evening so we opted for a paddle.
Out in the canoe, with the sun dropping towards the western hills.
As evening fell the wind suddenly dropped very light. Sail boats started to motor in.

We had a meal of fresh trout when Nikita and Anna arrived and.................................
