The Lakes District, Lake Coniston.

For those who don't recall, Donald Campbell died on lake Coniston in his jet boat the Bluebird.
By this time Jo and Vic had caught us up. The cottage was very nice and a nice hike from Coniston, the Town. The weather was a little wet through this stay but we still enjoyed the location. The stop was again set up so that Vic and I could fish some of his old haunts.







This is one of the ferries on the lake. It is a very popular tourist area . Our residence is on the far shore just left of frame.
One of the most enjoyable characters we met on this trip was Jimmy Pollard. He offered Vic and I a fish on "His Waters" a two and a half mile stretch of private fishing water. This is me with Jimmy on a recce before Vic arrived. We caught fish here as well. Trout and Salmon. This is considered one of the better Salmon rivers on the Cumbrian Coast.








One of the main reasons for the visit to England was to Let the Briand Family catch up with relatives and friends. Vic and Jo are pictured with Jo's brother Kevin and Susan.
