Can't comment on jet bikes, but all offer nice scenery. Ullswater - put in
at the northern end from one of the many roadside car parks and paddle down
to the steamer pier having checked the coffee shop is open first. The east
side is lovely.

Windermere is, well, Windermere. Theres a slip at Waterhead near Ablseside.

Coniston offers a couple of put ins either at the steamer pier or the head
of the loch and you can paddle to Brandwood for coffee (again, check its
open) and then down to the islands half way down which I understand was the
inspiration for the island in Swallows and Amazons. All very pretty.

And they can all be very bumpy if the weather's "interesting".

Wwell, Derwent Water is the obvious near Keswick choice - or Ullswater is

Yes, looking at the map was what brought on the plan in the first place.
But I was wondering if some lakes should be avoided, or if one was
particularly scenic, or if there was a good starting point somewhere.
I could be trusted to find the one spot where there is the annual jetski
competition going on!
