Give them to me. They will be locked in a safe place in my car. The sailing centre is a very secure place and it’s good idea not to take them out onto the lake.

By far the best way is email.
All trips are booked online. If you’ve just tried to call me on a morning, for a trip the same afternoon, apologies, I’m probably out on the water, and there is no further availability today.
Please check for tomorrow. The booking system is, automatically, always up to date. -
Guest experiences on previous trips have demonstrated that if any of the following applies, these trips are not suitable due to personal comfort in these boats ( nothing to do with fitness level ).
1. A BMI of 26 or over. ( While BMI scores sometimes have their flaws, here they give a very good indication ).
2. Weigh 102 KG (16 Stone) or over.
3. Regards young kids, the boats are a lot larger than children’s outdoor activity centre boats. Many parents have struggled on a windy day when sharing with a young child. This is unfair on everyone ( other guests, the child, the parent ).
If any of these apply, maybe check out hiring a rafted canoe or a ‘ Sit-on-Top ‘ from Glenridding Sailing Centre. -
Yes, however from early December to Mid-March please use the toilets in the village or elsewhere.
-
Yes, no problem. Please email me with this request and I’ll change the booking system to enable it.
-
I’ll send them through WhatsApp as soon as the trip is finished. I’ll also tag you in any that I post on Instagram if you’ve left your username when booking.
I’ll send them via email if you don’t use WhatsApp.

It was Patrizia’s idea.
I am quite tall. 6 ft 7 in, or 201 cm.

A bottle of water, any meds, and snacks if you want. They’re not essential, but I’ll be giving you a deck bag if you want to store anything in there. If you don’t bring chocolate, I’d appreciate it. It tends to melt all over the bag.
That’s it really.
It’s a very, very good idea to leave your phone onshore and let me take the photos / videos.
I will take plenty, and will only put one of them on Social Media if you are ok with me doing so. As a standard rule, I never put any photos of under 18’s on any platform.
