If you are not interested in the Swallows and Amazons books or the life of Arthur Ransome, then don't bother reading this post!!
Today we took a boat cruise on Coniston Water, and spent a couple of hours looking at some of the sites which Arthur Ransome either used or adapted in his wonderful books. Seeing the sites first hand only reinforces how well Ransome described the scenery.
For once in my life, I am speechless!!!! Most of the description for this trip is with the images.
I have loaded some photos onto Flickr, and enthusiasts will know for themselves where a site exists exactly as in the books, and where features have been adapted. One thing is for sure - Wild Cat Island did not disappoint!
Heading to Wales tomorrow.........next post will be from there!
