231 Sunday 18th August 2024 Bassenthwaite Lake
We were still in Keswick for the following weekend. Our friends from Selside came to visit us bringing their canoe, paddle boards and accessories. I bought Simon some swim shorts. We drove to Bassenthwaite where after some trial and error we found a parking spot with reasonable access to the lake. We lugged the equipment to a vacant spot. Simon was loaned one of the paddle boards and a life jacket and the three children set off on the lake and soon disappeared from view.
Eventually our friends spotted them on the far side of the lake and got in their canoe to rescue them. When they came back with all three intact we had a barbecue by the lakeside.
After we finished we loaded the equipment on to the canoe for the boys to transport to the bay nearest the car.
After a military-style operation to get everything back in the van, we drove back to Keswick and gave the kids some ice cream before our friends set off for home.
