I learnt to sail on Derwent reservoir (just outside of Hexham) back in the late seventies, early eighties. Having checked with my father that it wasn't my distorted childhood memories he agreed that is a superbly friendly and laid back club with a high standard of racing for those who wanted it and all for a fairly low annual membership (I suppose £300 at todays prices).
Do these places still exist and if so can anyone recommend one near Manchester or the lake district. I am thinking along the lines of an Enterprise (dinghy not starship) to ease the kids into it rather than anything too radical and skifflike?
