Great video takes me back to my discovery of the broads as a teenager on family holidays

I have been in the Kendal one few times food and atmosphere good Friends say the same about the Troutbeck Bridge (Windermere) one

They were clanking away this morning when I was there .. total laziness on yacht owners behalf

Ryan Mabb has two other restuarants called Pedros up here in the Lake district one in Windermere and one in Kendal

Thanks for all replies I shall try a few out and decide which I get on with best

Can anyone recommend a decent and fairly accurate speed app please ?

Great explanation Vaughan very helpful to have a better understanding of how the prop affects your steering etc Hopefully this will help with my awful stern on moorings

Never hired a bathtub always preferred centre cockpit myself but after seeing this video I'm very tempted to hire one for a cheeky cheap few days away end of season

Great pictures thanks for sharing looking forward to seeing the program always hoped they would do one of them on the broads

Hi Alan I did guess that it was original message you had forwarded and had typo errors for the date. It made me laugh seeing the BA had send it with wrong dates

Im curious as why this is only being told now as it states the racing was in June !!!! :-)

Oh no not another webcam to watch !! how am I supposed to do anything at work im bad enough flicking onto wroxham webcam all the time :-)

Been looking at this boat myself to hire beginning of next year. Good to hear others views of it and that they would re hire her.

Thanks for taking time to write up your holiday tale really enjoyed reading it

Is this top of Ant looking towards Barton broad ?

Great write up and looking forward to reading more of your holiday tale

Good luck Robin with the lessons and finally the driving test . Once you passed it then you will begin to actually learn to begin to actually drive and not just pass the test ! I passed my car test back in 1988 and have since done 3 more driving tests .. HGV 2, HGV 1.and Institute of advanced motorists Advanced driving test and I would definitely recommend that if you can you have a motorway lesson and a skid pan lesson as they are in my view invaluable.

I totally agree with that !

Time to film a new upto date one ??

In my view it looks like top of fleet dyke .. as has previously been said

Menu looking good , please don't make it to fancy and keep it good honest food all the family can enjoy

Fantastic write up of your holiday , great photos and video , thanks for sharing

Have also enjoyed watching Russells videos certainly a different style to others but very enjoyable especially the 'dark side'

Enjoying reading this , looking forward to next installment

Just to keep this thread going of on a tangent , your spot on with that summary Ranworthbreeze. I grew up in Windermere spend my youth waterskiing, sailing and just generally mucking about in boats . My ummer holiday job was hiring out self drive day boats and rowing boats at Bowness and then worked in a boatyard there when left school. Then along came the speed limit and overnight the amount of boats that left windermere was unbelievable and along with that so the restuarants and shops all suffered as people with disposable incomes weren't there any more. Jobs and skills in the boatyards were lost never to be replaced and the the area is like a ghost town compared with before . I would hate to see the broads go like that
