We headed off to Rutland Water mid morning to tackle the circuit of the lake. It was lovely and sunny and not too warm - perfect conditions really. We decided against doing the peninsula as well (which would have added 6 miles to the total) so just settled for the 17 mile route!
We had a few breaks on the way round - first at the Horse and Jockey at Manton, where we had a bit of refreshment. The only problem with stopping there when taking an anticlockwise route is that you leave the pub going uphill and I suffered from beer legs (I only had a pint!)
We stopped a bit later on at a lovely spot overlooking the lake for a picnic.
Here is one of the last stretches, across the dam:
