Lake District - Roa Island
8 September 2001
Looking across to Piel Island from Roa Island. The latter is joined to the mainland by a
causeway constructed by the Furness Railway to give their line a deep-water port in 1846.
Unfortunately today the wind was too strong for the ferry to Piel Island to be operating.
However, that wind was good news for the windsurfers
Lucy watches the windsurfers, looking west towards the Isle of Walney
