Was up in the Lake District for a few days earlier this week with @Tor. We got the train to Langwathby & then rode over to Ullswater to stay with some friends.
Unfortunately, poor signage meant that we arrived in Pooley Bridge with no way across to the northern side of the lake - the temporary footbridge was closed only a few hours before. Faced with a fifteen mile detour back to Penrith, or a lot of hike-a-bike over to Patterdale, our hosts hatched a plan. They had access to a small dingy & some kayaks, so they came over & we lashed our bikes onto the kayaks. Made it across without losing either of them- winner!
