Windermere Car Ferry Webcam

[Lakesailor]

Fed up with the cable ferry not running the scientists at the Freshwater Biological Association on the West shore of Windermere (Ferry House) have set up a web cam so you can check if it's running. It's a real-time cam, looking towards ferry nab (slipway just above the "Stop" sign). You can see boat movements and the Lake Cruises Dutch-style ferry coming and going.
Not so the car ferry which is not running at present.

Web Cam

Excellent cam, try it on "full size image"

It's snowing now, you can see it on the web cam, someone has just hoisted his main at the other side of the lake. Here comes the small ferry

Thanks, excellent quality. You have snow, lucky you!

Scandalous

Research funds being diverted to frivolous nonsense

Justice!

Ha! Miserable Northern weather. Makes up for all the stunning winter lakescapes you've been sending us

Re: Justice!

There's a yacht crossing the pic.

Nope. Lost in the gloom

What is \"Axis Media Control\"?

aparently I don't have it on my computer.

No matter, I shalln't be venturing north of the border for some time to come.

They also supply it as a Java Feed if that helps.

Site requires some sort of ActiveX control software to be installed /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Or perhaps they're orchestrating the publicity for Al Qaida from there?

Bird flu coming your way. 3 ducks just flew across the slip, the last one looked a bit sick.

Re: What is \"Axis Media Control\"?

I see GDubya is sorting things out in terms of the old bird flu - he's apparently just ordered the bombing of the Canary Isles.

Re: What is \"Axis Media Control\"?

There's flock of geese just passing by as well. opps, turned round now. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Can't help thinking that the stop sign is rather stating the obvious

I mean

If someone is going to drive into the lake a sign isn't going to dissuade them.

BTB a very suspicious character in a hoody and carrying a guitar case just got off boat.

Wonder what was in the case.

 

[Lakesailor]

Guitar?

I did think I saw a guy writing in the snow earlier.


Actually I can't wait 'till summer when all the young rambler ladies come and wait for the ferry in a state of heat exhaustion.

I may even arrange a sail-past for the forum's delight and delectation.

Man with dinghy wating for non-existent ferry at the moment. Outboard looks a bit risky. Is he going to launch?

 

[BrendanS]

nope, car and dingy performed complicated reversal process with aid of passenger and have now disappeared from view

 

[Lakesailor]

With outboard skeg still trailing?

 

[BrendanS]

didn't spot that...was too busy watching the US high school cheerleading team who happened to be passing and were flashing their boobs and bums at the camera!

 

[Lakesailor]

get lots of that. Some blokes just arrived in a mini-bus. I think the footferry is due.

 

[Gin]

I see what you mean.

Some fellow hanging around by the yellow signs on the slipway, cars arriving-reversing-retreating all seem to indicate

No Service!!

How very frustrating that must be for locals
