      Hi Jamie, we are sure you will love your upcoming Cruise to the Fjords; it's a stunning place. The currency in Norway is the Norwegian Krone, and we mostly used a credit card to purchase anything we required once we were over there. Just a tip, do not use a debit card, as they is a transaction charge for each purchase. We did not have this with a credit card. Let us know how you get on and have a great time! Take care

    Haddiscoe swing bridge the old Beccles to Gt Yarmouth line, nice video by the way. I paddled Rockland St Mary to Bramerton and back yesterday and it was so so quiet for the summer holidays, I paddled the northern Broads a few weeks ago and even that seemed dead compared to the usual manic traffic.

    Each of the major Lakes except one has a name containing one of either: "mere" or "water" both indicate 'lake' in various languages: Old Norse/Cumbric or Old English/Anglo-French. (Only Lake Bassenthwaite has 'Lake' specifically in its name.) There is no reason to add 'lake' or 'water' or 'mere' to the actual names of any of them: So it isn't "LAKE Windermere" it's just Windermere; it isn't "LAKE Grasmere" it's just Grasmere and it isn't "LAKE Rydal Water" it's just Rydal Water. Similarly, there are no such places as Lake Buttermere, Buttermere Water, Lake Coniston, Lake Crummock Water, Lake Wastwater, etc.

    It isn't "Grasmere Lake" or "Grasmere Water" or "Lake Grasmere" it's simply "Grasmere". Incidentally, Rydal Water used to be called "Routhmere" (which is translated to "The Lake on the Rothay") - The Rothay is the river that connects Grasmere & Rydal Water - You know: that little stream you saw off to your right as you walked from Rydal Water to Grasmere!)

    If you get deep into Rydal Cave, (in the late afternoon when the sun has passed overhead and the direct sunlight is beyond the cave opening,) with a camera that can handle low light, the roof of the cave is such a myriad of colours, that you can't really appreciate in it's entirety with the naked eye, but if you photograph the roof above you, you'll be amazed when you look at the pictures later.

    I've always considered Rydal Water as the best lake for a paddle, Buttermere as the best lake for a swim, Ullswater as the best lake for canoeing, and Windermere as the best lake to spend the day on my motor cruiser, (should any wealthy and generous benefactor ever think of buying me one, that is!)

    Surely your best route from White Cross Bay to Bowness-on-Windermere would have been to walk down through Troutbeck Bridge toward Windermere, turning right at the roundabout (where the road from Kirkstone Pass ends,) onto Rayrigg Road, and continue down to Fallbarrow Park and from there into Bowness Town/Bowness Bay. The advantage with that route is that it has pedestrian pavements for almost the whole route, and there are hardly any roads that you'll need to cross! (certainly not the busy A591.) ...Fallbarrow park is nowhere near 10-15 minute walking from Bowness-on-Windermere. From the Fallbarrow Park gates, if you'd have veered off from the main road and gone down the RIGHT hand side of the Rayrigg Road car park, it would have lead you downhill through lanes and back streets that would have seen you at Bowness pier in less than 5 minutes. ...Also, you could have got your bus back to Whitecross Bay much quicker: the 599 open top service now runs as far as Braithwaite Fold car park on Glebe Road, so you could have caught your bus back from there, (about 1/4 mile from The Marina Village!)

    An example of selfish mooring on Commissioners Cut, as the second boat moored alongside yours, thus blocking the rest of the moorings. Norwich is a fine city, very interesting, lots of pubs! I remember that hot weather.

      @twomenandaboat8681 7 місяців тому

      Hi Ratman, agreed, as mentioned in a previous comment, we did advise about their mooring blocking the cut. Unfortunately, we were not in a position to police this further. We found it interesting that a BA Ranger passed and also saw this without any further action. In our opinion, we don't think this was done deliberately to cause inconvenience to others, but you are right; not good Broads etiquette!

      Thanks for your comment; sadly, we do not seem to have any control over the adverts that sometimes run before our videos start or even in the middle. Neither of us are very tech-savvy, so do not get why some videos have adverts and others don't. If it's any consolation, we often feel the same as you, especially when watching other UA-cam channels. Sometimes a 'skip' button appears whereby you can skip the adverts in question.
