Could we plan a pirate-themed treasure hunt using the lake, we wondered, over a cone of chips on the shore. I found the LSO performing Classic Rock greats on the way home. Good record. Great day.

Hollingworth Lake
We took the train to Smithy Bridge and strolled to Hollingworth Lake, where we hired a rowboat and explored the lake. Straight lines aren’t easy in a rowboat, but I soon managed to get the hang of it. Sailboats soared past us, their grace and speed making us seem clumsy and waddle-some. We stopped for coffee, and for millionaires’ shortbread, and drifted aground. It was a beautiful sunny day.
