Bad day to be a stick


Me and the kids went for a play in the woods. The plan was to cook some bannock on a fire. Bex did the chopping, Jen did the gatering...and dad didn't quite get the fire going...woops

Dovedale

Had a great 40th Birthday hiking around Dovedale. Got out of the valley bottom for the first time and explored the surrounding countryside a bit. Was amazed by the views (this one is looking towards a hill called Thorpe Cloud - what a great name for a hill!). Wandered from Milldale over to Ilam...very relaxed exploring - with plenty of stoppes for cups of tea - well I am forty now.

Cambridge "Sailing" Club

Went for our first sail at Cambridge Sailing Club...it was interesting being on such a narrow body of water, with the wind vearing through 180 degrees! After safely returning to land, another member kindly let us have a go in one of his canoes.

Race for Life, Cambridge



It was hot, but the girls did well, getting round the 5km course in about 48 minutes. Thanks for all the sponsorship, over £100 is going to Cancer Research.
