Windermere is on our to-do list for next year. Looks great!

Looks awesome, looking forward to spending a few days at Windermere in August. Where did you SUP launch from? Will it be suitable for myself and my 10 year old lad to SUP.

[@MorewithMat]

Thanks yes lovey spot for a paddle! 👌🏼 Sounds like fun! We launched from Rayrigg Meadow Car Park, pumped our SUPs up and walked them down and launched at the jetty. Nice and easy 🏄🏼‍♂️ Yes would be great place to paddle, I sure August will have quite a lot of boat traffic so will have to keep your wits about but plenty of space for everyone to enjoy! 🙌🏼

I think you're right that being blue-green algae. I read some reports of a bloom in Windermere just last month due to the warm weather, detected from samples at multiple locations.

[@MorewithMat]

Yes looks like it! I didn’t see anything about it whilst I was there but heard about it when I got back home! 😅

[@eprohoda]

How are you?- Like it~ this is fantastic ! More,=))

[@MorewithMat]

All good here thanks! Yes was an awesome trip! 🙌🏼🏄🏼‍♂️

[@alexjones2637]

Do you have the coordinates for where you launched from?

[@MorewithMat]

Hey we park at Rayrigg Meadow Car Park, pumped the boards up there then carried them down to the jetty! 🏄🏼‍♂️ Insane spot! 🔥

You couldn't have been on Lake Windermere, as there is no such place..... wild camping in the Lake District is illegal. The LDNPA issues fines to anyone they find wild camping....

@@Brian-om2hh this was on Lake Windermere, unless the island has now been deconstructed 😅

[@Brian-om2hh]

@@MorewithMat Nope, there is no such place as *Lake* Windermere. It's called simply Windermere, the same as the nearby town. The word "mere" literally means a large open body of water, so in essence, referring to it as "Lake" Windermere means you are calling it Lake Winderlake.... It's a *mere* not a Lake. There is just one Lake in the Lake District - Bassenthwaite Lake. All the rest are "meres" or waters......

@@Brian-om2hh oh right fair enough! At least me calling it Lake Windermere stops people getting confused thinking I’m paddling down Windermere high street
