What a lovely way to travel.

Fabulous shot of this lovely boat, that tour sounds amazing.

Wow, what a beautiful craft - and a great capture demonstrating its beauty! I would love to take a trip on that....but I would NOT love dealing with the maintenance required to keep that wood looking so beautiful. I had to deal with a similar task annually as a youthful sailor, and it is NOT fun!

@ludwigsdiana Thank you Diana, a trip around the lake is only £9.00 per adult and well worth every penny:)

@stray_shooter Thank you for your interesting comment Ron, the Osprey is owned and maintained to a very high standard by the Windermere Steam Museum every penny raised by the boat goes straight back into the museum, you must have had a great time messing about in boats as a youngster:)
