River Crake

This evening's adventure was to swim from  the foot of Coniston Water , down the River Crake to the first bridge, a distance of about 1.5km.  On the way we swam through Allan Tarn which Swallows and Amazons fans will know as Octopus Lagoon.  Further south we swam through mangrove swamps ( well actually past lots of fallen down trees) . Mr P was waiting at the bridge  with car keys to ferry us back to Coniston for a picnic. You can see the Old Man of Coniston in the distance.
