点评:Had a great trip out on the steamer from Glenridding to Pooley Bridge. Price of £50, two adults and one dog, acceptable and worth the money. Lovely skipper and crew and on a cold but dryish day it was a lovely day out.
However the car park that is next to the pier is an extortionate price of £8 for 5 hours, which actually is only just enough time to catch the boat at 12.05 and return by 5pm. However if you get the 10am boat the parking would be £12. As I don’t walk well there was very little choice but to park and pay the price. Local toilet block also charges 50p, only payable by card and once in I found all the toilet paper was damp and refused to come out of the dispenser.
One saving was that the car park ticket had a voucher on for a free cup of coffee ( personally can’t stand the stuff) but hubby made use of it and got a coffee before we departed (cafe was shut when we got back). So in theory we saved £4 off the car parking but actually only got a drink on principle. There is other parking around the area, but too far for me to walk, and we had arrived on a tight schedule due to various closed roads on our route.
The boat was still well worth it though.
翻译:从 Glenridding 到 Pooley Bridge 的轮船上度过了愉快的旅程。价格为 50 英镑,两个成人和一只狗,可以接受,物有所值。船长和船员都很棒,在寒冷但干燥的天气里度过了愉快的一天。
然而,码头旁边的停车场收费高昂,5 小时 8 英镑,实际上只够在 12:05 乘船并在下午 5 点返回。但是,如果您乘坐 10 点的船,停车费为 12 英镑。由于我走路不方便,所以别无选择,只能停车并付费。当地厕所也收费 50 便士,只能刷卡支付,进去后我发现所有的卫生纸都湿了,无法从分配器中取出。
节省的一点是,停车票上有一张免费咖啡券(我个人受不了这种东西),但老公利用了它,在我们出发前喝了一杯咖啡(我们回来时咖啡馆关门了)。因此,理论上我们节省了 4 英镑的停车费,但实际上原则上只喝了一杯饮料。该地区还有其他停车场,但对我来说太远了,步行不方便,而且由于我们沿途多条道路封闭,我们到达的时间很紧。
不过,这艘船还是很值得的。
