Watersports at Wimbleball

July is a very busy month up here on Exmoor. This year Wimbleball Lake is hosting a huge Sporting and Countryside event from the 14th to the 18th July, to celebrate 10 years of the South West Lakes Trust and partners on Exmoor.

On offer will be a massive range of watersports and land-based activities for all to watch or try out, as well as a fun-packed Country Fair and an evening of live entertainment - all in the beautiful setting of Wimbleball Lake in the heart of Exmoor National Park.

I promised myself a go at kayaking last year but time was against me. I definitely want to try it out this time although if my balance is anything to go by, I shall probably spend more time under the boat! I have suggest to Derek that he doesn't have a go due to his very delicate stomach. When we were in Spain with Lucy a few years ago, he had to get off the pedalo as the motion was making him feel sea sick. The trouble is when he struck out to swim for the shore, the water didn't quite reach his knees!
