Route info - N/A (excluding launch)

INDY SAYS: Can be busy and I had to get in and out of the launch which was a bit tricky. Great swimming in Derwent Water. Those quadrupadors smelled a bit funny.

A lazy day after yesterday's hike.
We wander into Keswick from Portinscale, ready for the first launch to Lodore.
Truth be told, the 'first launch' is a bit late for us, but...

Our launch is called Lady DerwentWater - Woohoo! Cat Bells to the left, Rowling End & Causey to the right.
Off the launch at Lodore to start round the lake.

The Chinese Bridge - so-called because it is made entirely of chopsticks*

View from the Bridge

This path is ridiculous for the Lake District.
Indy can't believe how easy it is. Come on !

At last! says Indy, time for a swim

The launch in the background is irrelevant when there is a tennis ball to retrieve.

A pleasant stroll alongside Derwent Water

The famous 'hands'

Llamas on the way home near Lingholm. La Llama es un quadrupodor.
Or maybe they are alpacas. Indy and I walk past
