Coniston Water Circumnavigation. From Brown Howe car park.

    

Event details

CANCELLED STORM FRANKLIN WINS!


Sunday 1.30pm.. Looks like wind will reduce by mid-day Monday.

Still possible force 4-5 with gusts to 6. (Rain should have cleared)

I suggest a reduced distance paddle up the west side of the lake, hoping for some shelter. Then return along west shore.

Meet 11.00 for 11.30 on the water only if you fancy a breezy paddle. Understand if people don't fancy it. Please cancel if you wish.

I will rearrange the trip for Monday 14th March.

Sorry John, find myself tied up with contractors, I tried to change the dates but its difficult at the moment as they are all busy so its difficult to move dates around.

I was really looking forward to it. Cheers George

Hi John, thanks for the update. Steve and I will go for the March 14th option , please. That strength of wind might be too much for us tomorrrow , and driving down from Penrith with boats on the roof would be a bit dangerous. Thank you, and will look forward to March 14th . Nicola and Steve
