Wast water paddle

[shutz]

Well decided not to go to derwent due to the thick frost in the garden so went wast water instead. Although there was a bit of ice on the edges thelake was like a mill pond with stunning reflections of the fells. Not really that bushcrafty but the weather was too good to put up the tarp Just wait till the fishing season starts.... Saw a nice wood that looks like its above the intake wall when we were out so will have to have a look with a view to wild camp. Hope you like the pics.
Getting ready...

Whilst down at the top (or bottom) we saw a plane fly low over head and then land on the lake.....I alwawas for "non powered" craft I wonder what the NT would make of this..
Itwas a cracking sight mind and the kids were amazed.. nice fellas too. Just wondering if this could be the next bushcraft tool?????? (try explaining that to the wife!!)

I love that place I go there every year with my dad and spend a few days on the National Trust site and usually one night of that is spent on top of Middle Fell.

Have you tried Photobucket for your image hosting I have never had a problem using that.

Wast water reminds me of something out of Lord of the rings. It's got that eerie cathedral feel to it but with a hint of menace. Love it.

Wast water is a stunning place with a very wild feel not like the other lakes.I think I should try photo bucket but i am not sure if i have posted enough messages to post photos yet...

Looks like you had a great time.

Another thing that I love about going to Wasdale is that I can go to the pie shop in Gosforth on the way...

Cheers, Michael.

Nice pics.

I suppose with a plane like that, you could pretend you're in the Canadian wilderness

Thats just what we thought....On a day like that you could be anywhere.

Rich the canoes a SP3. Its our first canadian and we love it. Its built like a tank which has its pros and cone (lugging it to the car is definately a con!!).

Great pics mate! You did right not coming to derwent water, very bad weather. Wast water is the best, I love it when the sky is moody!

Nice pics.
It is an amazing place, but I've only been under it rather than on the water. Far more scenic above the surface.
