Boating Lake

Not exactly stunning at the moment. It’s surrounded by sterile, cracked, tarmac and it’s main features are an impressive growth of algae and a coot’s nest. The coot’s nest might be worth watching if you are into that kind of thing.
This is actually intended for toy boats, and is, apparently, the home for the oldest toy boat club in the world, the Victoria Model Steam Boat Club, which was founded in 1904. Traditionally they hold about 17 regattas a year, starting on Easter Sunday, with a steam regatta held on the first Sunday in July. I haven’t been able to find a website for them, so I think I may go along some time and try and spot them!
