That evening we took a short walk to the local pub for some food . It was great to stretch the legs and sample a few local beers ! The view of the stars we got on our walk back was amazing too . It was a clear night , and being in the middle of the Lake District , there was next to no light pollution allowing the stars to shine .
The clocks sprung forward that night , and Sunday morning was bright and sunny . The perfect weather to hit Coniston water with the SUP ’ s . We took advantage of Coniston Boating Centre ’ s car park and cafe , launching from their beached area . Paddling straight out onto open waters it was idyllic . From the middle of the lake you could see for miles around . Surrounded by fells , mountains , and forests . It was amazing to get out on the water , bask in the sun and take in the beauty of the Lake District . Then afterwards we enjoyed a quick coffee and cream scone at the cafe before starting the drive home .
The Experience Freedom glamping site was a brilliant base for a whitewater paddling , SUPing , and walking weekend . Only a short drive from perfect spots for it all . The Lake District is a real playground for the outdoors , with more hills and mountains to walk , more miles of lakes to explore , and more rivers to tame than you could manage in one holiday . We will definitely be back !
