Liverpool's Autumn Break at the HYDRO BOWNESS-on-WINDERMERE

Up from the reduced number of 2010 we were 17. Arrivals were on Sunday and Monday and departures Thursday and Friday. The quality at the HYDRO was as good as ever. Good food , pleasant staff and excellent facilities. Tuesday and Wednesday were the principle walking days... and all met prior to Dinner in a Suite Room for an "apperitiff".

"Cheers!" says Ken

and the pre-dinner chat proceeds... and below Brian & Jean "the Quiz " smile in preparation for the Quiz when we were assisted by the Halloween "CHAPS" who enteratined us at diner.

The  Halloween  "Chaps"!

They entertained us at DINNER.

The walks were led by Rob and his "Carer" Eunice and as the photo's show on the Tuesday/Wednesday we were blessed with good weather. Above are the party of 7 prior to Lunch at the MORTAL MAN!and below that  the  afternoon sunshine and a video.

The route back was splendid and a vist to a local church which was open made a nice end to the day . Some then returned to the Hydro for Swim & Jaccuzzi others took the opportunity for a beer!

Wednesday was equally kind around Elterwater (shown below) with an enlagred party opting for two walks. Again the final options were for a beer or a swim!

Thanks Rob for two really good days.

Thank you also to the RMS for the support for RMS members.











It wasn't all walking some took in amongst other things  Beatrix Potter, Cruises on Windermere  and the South Lakeland Animal Park .. the latter being free admission on the day of the Visit (£12.00 saved) Some photos shown below give a flavour.
