The lake is in the South Marine Park, and they're paddle boats these days. unfortunately, I don't know the cost

If you find yourself over this way again give me a PM and maybe we can have fish and chips together. Its always nice to meet up with a fellow boardie.

They used clapped out two seater motor boats that chugged round the lake at 0.5 mph. You went round once per 2/-6 thats 12.5 p

in modern money. Believe me that was a lot of money.

Amazing to think that we hoped as we queued that we'd get a really slow one . That would mean our treat lasted longer.

i remember those motorboats well, these used to make a racket and leave an oil slick on the lake

Yes the oil slick !!!

I remember

It didn't put of us serious anglers with our nets and tin buckets.
