I love the wide angle perspective on the second. I last went to Consiton as a boy and, as you can imagine for an 8-year old boy, it was all about Donald Campbell for me. I even remember walking around the museum. (The Ruskin - needed Google to refresh the grey cells) I really must get back there. In the meantime I will crack open a bottle or two of Coniston Bluebird in Donald's honour. :) GDave Great photos, Miles. I love the wide angle perspective on the second.

Fascinating story and the contrast from a peaceful and isolated lake to speed boat crashes is interesting, to say the least. Beautiful! I love seeing your countryside. I will be heading down south to Taos, New Mexico for a weekend of skiing, fine food, and visiting with friends, so if I don't check in it isn't because I'm ignoring you all. I'll bring my computer, but may be busy gallivanting around. Knowing Miles, I'll be 10 posts behind in a matter of minutes. I'll have to set aside a whole morning to catch up once I return. Take care, everyone. Melissa These are great photos, Miles. Fascinating story and the contrast from a peaceful and isolated lake to speed boat crashes is interesting, to say the least.

I have had it referred to as the 'Bavaria of England'. Lovely photos Elsie Miles,

There is a little lay by just after Blawith where there are no trees to obscure the view. Stunning when the lake is flat calm. One of the best views in the lakes is of Coniston Water.
