Tips

April 10, 2023

Launchy Gill tumbles down off Armboth Fell to reach Thirlmere at a small beach on the quiet western shore. If you’re running around the reservoir, it's a nice place to stop where you can access the reservoir for a paddle (no swimming officially as it's a reservoir).

Hawes How Island is close by which is fun to explore if you come back another time with a canoe.
