2019.6.16 dcc thirlmere

As we travelled up for the family day there were calm waters on Windermere and Grasmere was like a millpond so fingers were crossed for the notoriously windy conditions on Thirlmere. The car park was wind free and well populated with midges that were undeterred by the fine drizzle.
Out on the water white horses were seen gently cantering down the centre of the lake.
The shore line was fairly  sheltered from the swell and we made good progress skipping from bay to bay and in the lee of the islands. Some ventured into the waves for more exhilarating sport.
On reaching the final headland before open water leading to the head of the lake we suddenly realized the sun was about to breakout from the clouds and we had just passed a perfect sheltered picnic spot.
After a sun drenched lunch stop we made our way gently back to our starting place. Following seas made directional control a bit tricky for some and an opportunity for surfing for others!!
Once the 16 club members were all safely ashore we wended our different ways home, some stopping off for ‘afternoon tea’ to put the cream on a great day out. Thanks to all for making this such an enjoyable trip.
