A Day out on Ullswater

Post by The Hobbit » 23 Aug 2022, 05:23

Hi Peeps I'm still alive for those of you who were wondering :Boxsmile I'm planning a day out on Ullswater on Tuesday 30/8/22. Not been out in my boat since before I had my new knees (Jan 19) so I wanted to be in an enclosed water area to get back into sibbing, and staying in the Lake district for a week seemed like a perfect opportunity.
So....... please inundate me with info and advice on where to launch etc and any other weird and wonderful rules that I haven't found myself yet. :waterski :chat
I'm not really a Hobbit, just look like one. Real name is "Andy".

Hope your knees hold up. In our brief SIB ownership I found the seating position tough going on the knees.
