Andy and I took my dinghy out for a winter sail today. I wanted to test a few mods I've done and also get the new sails out.
Well it started off as a row as it was flat calm, so we rowed down to St Herbert's Island, half way down the lake, for a cuppa (out of the flask) and an explore. The island is fairly well used as you can see from the 'woz ere tree but it's not waring that badly as the people who do venture there do make the effort and take everthing they bring with them, a rare thing nowadays. There is also signs of camping on the island even in the winter. The amount of trees seem to keep up well with the demand for wood for the camp fires.
As we were there the wind got up a little and so we had a chilled out sail back to Nichol End for another cuppa.
