Beautiful video and a lovely boat, I sail and paddle on Coniston quite frequently but never get tired of entering that little harbour on Peel Island. My mother was a swallows and amazons fan and I always feel close to her when on the island.
Really nice video, thanks for sharing your adventures with those of us a little more Stewartby bound! I enjoyed learning some of the history of Wild Cat Island and of Collingwood. My reading list grows ever longer! Thanks again!
Thank you for this video. Two questions : if I understood well, Peel Island used to have inhabitants ? Does it belong (nowadays) to somebody or to the State ?
As I understand it, some remains, or evidence, of ancient buildings, suggesting possible habitation, were discovered on the island in the 19th century, but they are buried again now. The island now belongs to the National Trust, which owns and manages a lot of the Lake District and many other beautiful areas of coast and countryside in the UK, plus historic buildings and other precious old things, including the steam yacht Gondola which also appears in the video! www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/about-us/about-the-national-trust-today
Saludos y los mejores deseos para ti y tu familia, from Chile.
