Canoe Camping & Fishing in the Rain in the Lake District

Get ready for a wild adventure in the Lake District! Join us on our latest trip where we encountered some truly extreme weather conditions. With the wind picking up and dark clouds looming, we knew we had to act fast to find a safe spot to set up camp.

After a frantic search, we finally found a perfect spot and quickly set up a tarp shelter to wait out the heavy downpour. But that was just the beginning of our adventure!

After the rain let up, we cooked up a storm using our trusty bushbox and some delicious ingredients. We feasted on pasta, green beans, asparagus, and salmon fish cooked to perfection over a controlled fire. For dessert, we roasted some marshmallows over the fire and savored the sweet treats.

But the adventure didn't stop there! We tried our luck with some fishing and managed to land not one, but two beautiful perch. And when we hooked a wild trout, we had a thrilling fight on our hands. Though we weren't able to land it, the experience was still unforgettable.

As the rain pounded down around us, we settled in for the night in our cozy tent. The sound of raindrops on the tent fly was soothing and helped us drift off to sleep.

The next morning, we woke up to stunning reflections on the lake and enjoyed a delicious breakfast of bagels with peanut butter and maple syrup cooked up on our pan. But soon enough, the rain returned with a vengeance, and we had to pack up our gear as quickly as possible.

Despite the challenging weather conditions, this adventure in the Lake District was one for the books. Join us on our journey and experience the thrill of camping, cooking, and fishing in the great outdoors!
Hope you enjoyed the adventure, stay tuned for the next adventure where we hike up to a secluded mountain tarn!

Keep on adventuring!
