Coniston World Records

They've been doing on Coniston what they used to on Windermere, again.
Records Week
Video Here (With regional accent.)

I didn't get around there as the best runs take place earlydoors and we're busy.

You weren't joking about the accent, were you..... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If that had been on Windermere the blood vessels would have been bursting faster than 138mph on the local politburo!

Coniston was always used for records when I was a lad.

How fast can you row a ferry? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sorry, thought you were being serious.

Ken, I don't have "serious" and "jokey" conversations. They all meld in together. Sorry if you took offence.

I used to take a trip down the lake to look at the Windermere attempts, but now I miss out, because of the LDNPA.

No - but just spent the day baling out my boat - on dry land. My fault - first time with a pressure hose on the deck and didn't realise that the pressure took the water under the hatches ! [--word removed--] !
A Jameson has restored my balance.
Have a good weekend.
