Sunrise swim, Windermere
There’s something pretty special about swimming as the Lake District wakes up.
We’ll start the day with an early-morning sunrise swim on Windermere, taking in the stillness, the mountains and the changing light across the lake.
Afterwards, we’ll head back to the hotel for a well-earned breakfast.
A great Lake District adventure
Once we’re fuelled up, we’ll head out into the Lakes to explore one of the region’s incredible bodies of water.
Depending on conditions, we might find ourselves swimming at Rydal Water, Ullswater or another beautiful location, perhaps exploring a quiet stretch of shoreline or swimming around one of the lake’s islands.
And if conditions allow, we may even land on an island for a little stretch and explore before heading back to dry land.
Cake. Obviously.
No Lake District adventure with us would be complete without something delicious, so we’ll find a suitably spectacular setting for some of Mel’s glorious cake, fresh from TWSCo’s famous kitchen.
Because swimming works up an appetite.
Waterfalls & an afternoon dip
In the afternoon, we’ll swap lakes for waterfalls and take a walk through some of the Lake District’s spectacular scenery, following the water as it tumbles through the landscape.
And, naturally, we’ll be looking for the perfect waterfall for an afternoon swim.
There’s something wonderfully wild about standing beneath a Lake District waterfall before taking the plunge, and this is exactly the sort of experience this weekend is all about.
Back to the hotel
We’ll return to the hotel for showers, rewarming and some well-earned downtime.
And if conditions, daylight and enthusiasm allow, there may even be time for a sunset dip in Windermere before dinner.
