It was great - despite the rain: http://sophieneville.net/2012/06/11/in-search-of-arthur-ransomes-locations/Sophie Nevillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034613889600871644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898305979450113088.post-82663287976888883792011-04-04T11:09:00.707-07:002011-04-04T11:09:00.707-07:00Really wish that I could visit now!

Now 23 I have bought the film and love re-living childhood memories. <br /><br />I do not have my own canoe or boat but would love to make a trip up there camp for a few days and hopefully sail about a bit. Are there places to hire boats or canoes?<br /><br />any help would be much appreciated.<br /><br />thanks<br /><br />SarahUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03705579707676239287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898305979450113088.post-34230146137501395872010-05-06T11:38:56.177-07:002010-05-06T11:38:56.177-07:00Hi Lucinda.Enjoyed your account.

I organised the planting of 2 pine trees on the northern tip of Peel Island in 1994,with the Arthur Ransome Society. Last saw them about 8 years ago. Idea was to remove one tree and let the best grow to maturity, as in S.& A. Best wishes. Swallows and Amazons for ever!

This, the coniston one I found especially enjoyable as I have spent some time there last year and will no doubt return this year. Excellent accounts, all of them and stunning photographs. You certainly have an appetite for the canoe!<BR/><BR/>All the best.<BR/>Nige.Nigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10876622853716391408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898305979450113088.post-62770713217600072462009-01-10T10:46:00.000-08:002009-01-10T10:46:00.000-08:00I paddled out to Wild Cat Island (aka Peel Island)...I paddled out to Wild Cat Island (aka Peel Island) with my son in October. It is beautiful, but there is a big sign saying NO CAMPING - understandable as there are lots of people wanting just to visit, and there's not much room.<BR/><BR/>Best Wishes<BR/><BR/>FrankUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038423481820930477noreply@blogger.com
