PIEL ISLAND !

anyone ever been here ,looks well cool to camp here

sorry i thought this was something related to Pen Island

Went there April last year with a group from my other-hobby forum, the latter pics in this set[/url] are on the island – we rode across the sands from a Walney Island, after a brilliant ride through the lakes.

Some faired better on the return leg than others…

The island was fine to camp on, a ‘spit n sawdust’ bar + greasy spoon caters for on-site refreshments. Nice mix of ground, a little marsh in the middle of it (watched a barn owl for a few minutes patrolling the reeds), the castle + the tides to help you feel cut-off. Great for a 1-night trip.

Not camped but have been there.

On a warm Summer’s night it would be an awesome place to camp. Nothing there but a ruined castle, a small terrace of holiday homes and a pub.

The pub serves decent beer and great fish and chips. There are deserted pebbly beaches near the castle where you could make a fire or barbecue.

Anything you want to take you have to carry onto the ferry.

I thought that said ‘pie island’. I’m not going to lie to you, I feel let down.

It does have a “je ne sais croix” factor to it, but it’s difficult to say just what that is!!

Worth going I thought…and the pub was closed then.

“je ne sais croix”

I don’t know cross ?
