Stand Up Paddle Boarding on Buttermere, Lake District

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- This week we enjoyed a wonderful SUP on Buttermere in the Lake District! We had arrived with our paddle boards in the morning and planned to do a loop of Buttermere before brunch. The calm waters and stunning scenery made for a beautiful paddle and we even bumped into a film crew along the way.
The Lake District has many beautiful places to Stand Up Paddle Board and I look forward to being able to take you along on more paddling adventures. If you have any ideas as to where I should explore next I'd love to hear them in the comments below.
Thank you so much for watching, have a great week and hopefully see you all on the next adventure, until then happy wandering :)
Looks great.
Love your drone shots from this paddle. Very skilled to be able to fly and paddle at the same time! Wow how lucky was you to be there at the same time mission impossible was being filmed! great video
Went paddleboarding first time last week, Windermere on Tuesday, fell in four or five times until I was able to stand up good, had a good five hours gliding about, really enjoyed it... Went Ullswater the next day, hated every second... The wind was up enough I couldn't paddle stood up as I was acting like a sail, water was choppy with little rolling waves I couldn't get used to, we had to paddle pack to our start point on our knees, it took ages, top of my toes were grated, cramps in my feet, even my knees started feeling bruised and numb from lack of blood flow, was aching from the day before, you know, using new muscles, so yeah, the second day sucked... Annoying even more was the next day was calmer than the first day, it would have been perfect.
So note to self in future, don't do two days in a row unless it's great weather and don't even think about going in in windy weather.
Sounds like you had dreamy conditions on your first outing, least the water at the moment is warm enough that falling in you can dry out quick! Sure sounds like you got the hang of it though pretty quickly! Sorry to hear your second day wasn't as smooth, seems like it was quite a mission to get back against the waves. Hope you've been out since or got plans to when the conditions are good again!
@@TheGirlGoneNomad Lol, sure makes you stand up quick when every dunk comes with the dreaded wind chill across the front side...
A neoprene vest on underneath and a quick wind check next year for sure, but, my board is coming with me in future years definitely.
Absolutely beautiful paddle location! Thanks for sharing your experience. ❤
Thank you for watching! Really lovely to hear you enjoyed it 😊 Do you also paddle board?
Hello, I enjoy standuppaddle in Japan.
The scenery you see on a standuppaddle abroad is very beautiful.
thank you very much.
Very nice tour. Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Germany!
Hi ☺️ Thank you for your kind comment really glad you enjoyed it! Hope you get plenty of opportunities to paddle where you are in Germany!
That area is gorgeous.
It is a beautiful area 😊
This footage 😍
This is what dreams are made of!
Thank you lovely 🧡 Let's go on another paddle boarding adventure soon!
Love this! I’m settling down now, lived in Oz for 2 years driving half way around living in a 4x4, moved to NZ for 2 years and lived in Canada for 4 years. I’ve just returned home and learning how to love England again. Mini brakes keep me sane but my heart aches for the road, the unknown, wilderness and adventure. My brother took me to the lakes recently and I was very happy. Love countryside, kind people and nature. I’m purchasing my first board to mix up with wild camping and find solitude when I’m not caged in my office.
Stay safe and keep up your adventure! Subbed! Ash
Wow sounds like you have been living quite the adventure! I would love to visit Canada, where were your favourite spots out there? Love NZ such an incredible country . Oh what great news, you will love the paddle boarding I'm sure, I always use it as a great escape after work. Where do you think you will paddle first? Hope you have a great weekend!
Loved this, thanks for sharing....

'Let's go and enjoy ourselves.' Great idea on buttermere Betty. Can't fail to do so especially with them views and all that excitement. We may see you on the big screen down below. Awesome. Take care. Mark
Thank you Mark! Oh it was a beautiful paddle, absolutely, nothing better than just heading out sometimes and seeing where the day takes you! Haha well I guess you never know, if Cruise does a fly-by in the film and there is a rogue paddle border waving and bobbing about I’m claiming it :) Have a great week, take care Betty
@@TheGirlGoneNomad A pleasure Betty. Oh I agree although I have no paddle board. Who knows? They may leave the dot in. Ha ha!

We have been thinking of getting stand-up paddleboards! They look like so much fun! ~ Shion and Matthew
Hi Shion and Matthew, if you've been thinking of getting boards I would say go for it! I'm sure you would have some fantastic adventures with them. It's such a great way to explore new places. Thank you for watching, Betty :)
That is so awesome adventure Paddle Boarding. Lots of balancing which you make it looks easy. So much fun and the view is fantastic too.Thumbs up! 31

Totally gorgeous :)
Beautiful place to go paddling. Very nice video!
I've got to get up there and have a paddle on Buttermere! Amazing that you stumbled upon the helicopter filming too! Love it as always Betty!
Thank you Otter 😊 Really glad you enjoyed it. Oh absolutely, I think you’d love it! It’s a beauty, great launch spot not far from the car park in the centre of Buttermere, from the western end.
Great video! I've just bought a SUP after seeing people boarding on Buttermere this week, and looking forward to going back and giving it a try! And lucky you for catching Tom Cruise filming too!
So lovely !!!
Great video thanks for posting. I'm SUPing my way around different lakes in the Lake District, but not got to Buttermere yet! My favourite part of the lakes
What a fantastic challenge! Where has been your favourite place to paddle so far? Thank you for watching, so glad you enjoyed the video 😊
@@TheGirlGoneNomad I'm only doing a lake every now and then so not that challenging!! I like the South end of Derwent water - you can go a little way along the river Derwent into Borrowdale (gets very shallow in places!) and then back along the shore below Cat Bells is beautiful. Around Peel Island on Coniston Water (Swallows & Amazons territory!) and the Patterdale end of Ullswater are beautiful to. Windermere is too busy for me, with too much boat traffic. Definitely doing Buttermere next!
@@nickb6260 It’s still a great challenge! Derwent water is beautiful, I know where you mean along the River Derwent, water should be nice and high at the moment! Coniston sounds wonderful, getting to paddle out to the islands. Recently paddled on Grasmere one evening, great views over Helm Crag and down the valley. I hope you have a brilliant time on Buttermere!
Great thanks !!!!
What was your start off location?
Looks amazing ♥ I've never paddle boarded before but it looks like fun - added to my to -do-list :D
The drone shots are great! Felt really relaxed after watching your video - loved the combo of music and shot transitions ☺
Thank you! I think you’d really enjoy it, you should definitely give it a go 😊 Really appreciate your kind comments and so glad it left a positive impression 😊
What a wonderful video! The quality of it is fantastic. You're getting better and better. I really love when you slide on the water with your beautiful paddle, the vue is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice weekend 🤗💙
These are such lovely things to say, thank you Jane! 🧡 You've supported me from the very start and I really appreciate it! Can't wait to see your next adventure 💙 I hope you have a wonderful week too 😊
@@TheGirlGoneNomad Oh Thank you so much! It's a pleasure! You support me too and I appreciate a lot. I'm happy you like my videos so much. Have a wonderful week too 💙🤗
New sub from Denmark! 😍🇩🇰
You very boarding enjoy in lake
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thanks for some great video’s. My wife and I have been looking for windproof jackets when we paddleboard, what make is yours as it looks ideal?
Thank you for your kind comments, really glad you enjoyed the video! My jacket was bought in Norway so the brands not easy to get a hold of here however something like the Rainbird Waterproof Smock Jacket from finisterre is similar. It's get having a punch on the front. Where do you enjoy to paddle?
@@TheGirlGoneNomad Thanks for that, my step mum is Finnish so I’ll get her to keep her eyes open. We have just started paddling so joined Chelmarsh sailing club. On Sunday we are starting our caravan holiday so will paddle on Ullswater, then Loch Lomond and then Skye somewhere. Excited!! (My wife’s done her back in, so that may stop her though).
I have requested for my birthday from my lovely boyfriend a paddle board... I am so excited for it!!!! Another great adventure as always Betty, watching is making me excited to get one (:
This is so exciting! Can’t wait to see your first adventures on your new paddle board, that is certainly a very kind gift from your boyfriend. Thank you so much, always so grateful for your kind words! :)
It’s beautiful 😍. Do we need license to SUP in Buttermere lake? Other than a £5 Pass which you have mentioned in this Video?
HI there, no other license is needed over than the £5 pass, after that you are free to paddle all day! Hope this helps 😊
@@TheGirlGoneNomad Great stuff, thank you very much. 😃
brilliant video! do you have any suggestions on where to park? ive looked at buttermere court hotel but unsure if its okay to park in their spaces
Hi, thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! The Bridge Hotel has parking out the back you can pay for a space whether you use the pub or not. I used the national trust car park but this is a little further out. Hope this helps and you have a great paddle!
So nice upload stay connect
Thank you 😊
Nice one like Buttermere 🙂 like and subscribe thx for sharing
Buttermere is beautiful I completely agree! Have a lovely weekend
@@TheGirlGoneNomad you too 🙂I ready to go Lake District ❤️
@@JanekWloczykij Thank you, hope you have a great time on your next trip to the Lake District!
Hiya I moved to Windermere last month and went paddle boarding for the first time on the lake today it was amazing :) if there’s any other things round the area you recommend trying please let me know :))
Very good your courage
Thank you so much 😊
Omg that’s beautiful 😍 what month it was?
Hi there! Thank you for your kind words, I think this was late summer, still warm enough for shorts and t-shirts. Hope this helps!
Looks amazing! I would love to do this soon. Just wanna ask, how far is the launch site to the car park? Where did you park? cheers
Hi! Sorry for the slow reply, I used the national trust car park and took the board down to the shore (maybe a 10 min walk). There is a closer car park out the back of The Bridge Hotel, I'm not sure how much it is to park here but would cut down the walk. Hope this helps!
Where did you leave your paddle board bag?
I hid it by one of the trees, but took all my valuables on the board with me in a dry bag. I often leave the bag on the shore without any problems, just somewhere out of plan sight. There is a car park not far away so you could always nip back to the car and drop it off before paddling of you were worried. Hope this helps!
Just found your channel and loving your adventures. Just a quick question, if you have to hike to the shoreline with your paddleboard how and where do you store your board rucksack without the fear that it might not be there when you return? Thanks
Hi Matt, thank you for your kind comments, really glad you enjoyed this adventure! I am a relatively trusting person, and will leave my bag on the shore, particularly when it's quiet. I always carry any valuables in a dry bag on the board and there is nothing in the bag but the pump. However I can fit that and the bag in a dry bag on the board if I am doing a one way trip. Otherwise most of the time the car is not too far away to return the bag to before a paddle. Hope this is of some help! 😊
what a beautiful morning! i wonder who got better footage, you or the helicopter? (i think it's you)
Thank you Katie 🧡 Would have obviously been all the more beautiful had I had my chef paddler to share the board with 😊
I have just bought an inflatable paddle board, which I have tried out twice so far, with great success.
The only problem, is carrying the board to the launch site (the North Sea)
Although the board isn’t particularly heavy, it is a bit awkward to carry.
I’ve been looking online for carrying straps and there are a few, ranging in price from less than a tenner, to some much more expensive... they seems too good to be true.
Have you used straps to carry your SUP .. if so, which one did you buy ?
Hi Brian, glad to hear you are enjoying your time out on the water, the North East coast has some truly beautiful spots, I loved the Northumberland Coastline. Ah yes they can be a bit cumbersome with their size, particular if you have a bit of a way to the water. I don't personally have a strap, but would probably go for something from Northcore or the like. Though I'd say the £9.99 option from Decathlon would probably do just as good a job.
@@TheGirlGoneNomad Thanks for your reply and suggestions. I actually bought a SUP strap from LOMO. On their website for £7.99, so not a bad price at all. Better still, my mate bought one too, so we could share postage. Worked out at less than a tenner each. Soooo much easier to carry now. Only one more problem .. the North Sea is freezing.
Regards from Whitley Bay
@@brianmorrison9168 Ah great find and an absolute bargain! Always good when you can share postage. Glad to hear they are working well for you, I might be tempted to invest in one myself. Ah I can imagine, the North Sea is not know for being tropical 😊Are you still paddling in wetsuits? I think the lakes are warming slightly but still not warm!
@@TheGirlGoneNomad Thanks, certainly worth considering the strap.
I did look at the Decathlon one, but some reviews mentioned dye coming off and staining the board .. so I decided against that particular strap. My mate said LOMO are a well known brand, which is why we went for their strap.
Yes, still wearing a wetsuit .. don't really think the sea here is really ever that warm. but I suppose as I get better, the chance of falling gets less, so we'll see how it goes, when summer arrives.
@@brianmorrison9168 Ah that's good to know, its not good to dye the board! I'm going to check them out, could come in really useful. Indeed, and when the sun shines you can certainly get warm paddling, sometimes you even want to fall in!
Cool Video Fun fact, that helicopter belongs to Tom Cruise and he may well have been flying it past you
paddle boarding in the lakes looks sick
Just my type of girl. Brilliant video subbed. Thought about SUP so this is great. What shoes are you wearing? Why do you have to pay? nobody owns the lake.. god gave it to them did he? disgusting.
Hi! Thanks, really glad you enjoyed the video. Should defiantly get yourself out there on the SUP. I wear my neoprene canoeing shoes, really versatile. Though in the hight of summer its usually just sandals. I'm not sure the reasons behind why some waters require a permit and others don't, I just get all my info from the Lake District NP website. Have you got a good local spot to paddle?
