RE: Coniston Water in Cumbria
It is quite astonishing that it took that long to find his body and the boat, but then again it's also quite astonishing that they were able to recover it at all. I have vague memories of that happening.
I remember it too. It was a huge story at the time.
Here is a documentary about the recovery of Donald and the boat if you are interested as to why it took so long to undertake it. Very deep lake etc.

I can understand his wife's feeling to just let him rest. Did you visit the cemetery where they buried the remains? Thanks for the video.
Well I did visit a cemetery but not sure if he was there. I guess he must have been as it was the one on Coniston Water. It was a long shot with a telephoto lens so not sure if we could pick it out. I'll have a look when I post it.
That will be fun to see, even if you can't identify it exactly.
