Greetings good folks of BCUK i hope you are all well this morning. :cool:


On Wednesday just gone me and my brother headed off to the Cumbrian Lake District with the inflatable kayaks, we literally looked at the weather forecast at midnight the night before when we decided to go and thankfully the forecast was bang on point and the weather was unbelievable, the scenery was breathtaking and it all added up to be a perfect day.


Ullswater is a stunning lake long and slender surrounded by bedrock mountains


Car all packed with 2 inflatable boats and all the kit and food we would need, feeling rough at 6 am but ready to hit the road

all inflated and ready to launch

Video looks great, but can't see the pics. I do love the lakes this time of year, especially before the hords take it over for the summer hols.


Sorry about that once again when i tried to add images to my post on this website it just became a hassle n misery so i linked them in from a post i wrote on BCUSA, i guess i folks are not members there then they are not showing for them here, spent a good hour trying to load 10 images to this site before i gave up, once i have had some sleep i'll have another go, the uploader is like something backwards from 2005 where it makes you do one image at a time over and over, you think you're done with them all inline and you post your thread and it is loads of dead attachment links or nowt at all, gonna have one last go at it before i go to bed :D wish me luck

I wouldn't even be annoyed with the image uploader if i hadn't just done exactly now what i done 3 hours ago when i first wrote the thread and this time it works, i done everything exactly the same as i always have on this site but lately it is failing more than working

cracking mate good to see your brother getting out again

Cheers mate, that's twice in a fortnight and the mad part was this one happened through his prompting, he calls me at midnight the night before asking if i fancied it cos of how promising the weather forecast looked

One of my brothers has a Kayak on Ullswater mebbe once a week or more, plus he's on the Solway about as often.

It's a nice place.
