Some alternatives to boating for you. The prestigious uk skimmimng stone championships are being held on Saturday at Waterhead on Windermere. This has got to be a worthwhile for bored boaters as it celebrates messing about by water, and expending very little energy. Muscle relaxant will be in the form of a special 'skimmers' beer, isotonically prepared for the skimmers every need. All comers are welcome and best of all - 'stones are provided'!

Alternatively you could get busy training for this, the new lakeland 100 endurance event. 100 miles in a max of 40 hours. Sleep optional! Unfortunately I think im busy that day.

Last up you could forgot all that tedious paddling and get the wind to blow you round Britain in your summer holidays. Local Jonny Moore has decide to do this in the gap between GCSE's and Sixth form! Just to stop him getting bored he is doing it the 'wrong' way (anticlockwsie), solo, and is going round the north of Scotland (rather than cheating and going though the Caledonian canal like that Ellen MacArthur character). The youth of today ... they just have no 'get up and go'...
