Absolutely fantastic little journey to wild cat island. Please sir, more adventures. Calming sound track. That's it. I'm dusting of the old swallows and Amazon book for a read 🤠🇦🇺👍. Waving the hand from Australia.
Thanks very much Mike! Really glad you enjoyed it. There should be more coming from that Lake District trip very soon - watch this space! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy re-reading Swallows and Amazons - I’m sure you will! Waving back 👋💂🏻🇬🇧🍂🤗
Beautiful video and a lovely boat, I sail and paddle on Coniston quite frequently but never get tired of entering that little harbour on Peel Island. My mother was a swallows and amazons fan and I always feel close to her when on the island.
Really nice video, thanks for sharing your adventures with those of us a little more Stewartby bound! I enjoyed learning some of the history of Wild Cat Island and of Collingwood. My reading list grows ever longer! Thanks again!
Brilliant video, out there doing it! I’m looking forward to similar adventures on my small boat. My first night on mine was terrifying due to pretty strong winds, but the four nights following I slept better than ever. Summer is almost here so will finally camp out again soon.
Thanks very much! Encouraging to know your sleeps on board got better quickly. I must persevere and hopefully have more nights aboard next year. Good luck for your summer’s sailing and camping! 🙂
Thank you for this video. Two questions : if I understood well, Peel Island used to have inhabitants ? Does it belong (nowadays) to somebody or to the State ?
As I understand it, some remains, or evidence, of ancient buildings, suggesting possible habitation, were discovered on the island in the 19th century, but they are buried again now. The island now belongs to the National Trust, which owns and manages a lot of the Lake District and many other beautiful areas of coast and countryside in the UK, plus historic buildings and other precious old things, including the steam yacht Gondola which also appears in the video! www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/about-us/about-the-national-trust-today
