there have been loads of people taking there boats to other lakes in the Lake District that have speed limits on them like Ullswater and Consiton. They have been wakesurfing on these lakes and have been giving the middle finger to the National Park. I think its outstanding and next year we need more people to take there boats to these other 10mph lakes and go wakesurfing.
A guy from the Save Windermere campaign told me to just go and wakeboard at full speed on these lakes. I would love to have a wakeboard on Ulswater. Appartently you can't get busted cause they don't have wardens and speed cameras. Plus a warden can't legally take your address, only a police man. And if you do get caught I was told the max fine is £20. I think the idea is that if every weekend there are five boats on Ulswater and 5 boats on Consiton all wakeboarding and water skiing then maybe the the National Park will think twice about the Windermere situation.
If anyone has a boat and wants to go wakesurfing or wakeboarding on one of these lakes I would love to join you. (just sold our boat you see). Lets wait till its a bit warmer though.
