Lake District	10th November 2023	Mark, Helen, Cath, MJS, Martin	Fabulous weather. Clear skies, sun, barely any wind. It was such a novelty to paddle on clear clean water. We had two fabulous days, camping in warm comfortable Pods with albeit thin mattresses. I had the opportunity to try out the Easki kayak. It edges beautifully, and fits my tall frame perfectly. I demonstrated a spectacular exit from the boat at the cafe, sitting on the bottom of the lake not once, but twice. But my peers were very supportive with their laughter.
