A Trip to Windermere


Members of the Merseyside Society for Deaf People enjoy a glorious sunny day for their visit to the Lake District, recorded in this short colour film. The group gather at Ambleside before taking a trip on a Windermere pleasure boat, the visitors signing to each other as the lakeside scenery glides by. Finally, everyone reassembles by the coaches to chat and converse before the return to Liverpool.
