Half-term holiday.

23rd: Bank Holiday weekend camping at Edale.  We managed a 2-mile walk in about 3 hours!

 

The youngest Explorers: Isla and Matthew.

 

Hunting for bugs.

24th: Climbing at Lawrencefield.  Emily and Katie attempt their first HVS!

 

 

25th: Striking camp.  I'm sure we used to sneer at people with gazebos!

26th:  Climbing trees on the way to the park.

 

27th: Visiting Grandma & Grandad in York, with a trip to Dig, for some hands-on archaeology.

 

On the phone to Mummy (busy at home SATS marking).

 

28th:  A walk around the city walls and a ride on an open-top bus.

 

29th:  Katie had a day at her friend Hannah's, so Emily had a "Daddy Day".  We went for a bike ride and picnic at Derwent reservoir.

Then we fitted in a couple of hours at the Climbing Works.  Despite the heat, Emily enthusiastically took on all the challenges we could think up.
