Autumn Swimming Break
Just starting our autumn break in the Lake District, what
a journey Motorway extremely busy, but at last we have arrived.
It takes a while to unload the car, give the wetsuits a good shaking
A quick cup of tea and a sandwich and we are ready to struggle into
the wetsuits, when you think about it some folks are getting ready
to dive into a warm sea or a luxurious pool we have a chuckle about this
We surged in and started around the headland with a jolting breaststroke
grunting and gasping are all part of the process, it’s quite an unsettle swim
As we get used to the cold, the water is rough with squalls moving first this way and that, you feel you are not really getting anywhere
Past driftwood tree which looked smooth and silvery in the water.
We reached an open space which looked very black until I put my
face in it, pebbles shiny white underneath, you look up above as the moon settles on the high peaks on the horizon. Later we climbed on to the banks
then back to the car, feeling pretty cold, so now off we go the Pub
to eat beer battered cod and chips, this is the life
