I phoned
Ullswater Hotel on Fri 3 rd Aug to book us in for 11’s in the region of 11:30.
Another party of 10 cyclists had also booked for 11’s so it could be busy.
Maybe the
other group also want to inspect the water levels in Haweswater and glimpse the
remains of Mardale village. I doubt if the recent rains have made much
impression on reservoir level.
I hope the
weather is kind to us and that it will be an enjoyable outing.
