Beano time again...

[simon the viking]

Every year I take little-V... (although he's 11 now) away for a few days leaving Mrs V at home.. Going to work (as I take the odd week off separately to cut child care costs) .. In the past we went to penkridge near Cannock Chase.. Milton Keynes fir Bletchley park.. And Stone Henge... This year I'd planned a week 400 miles away in Fort William however.. a few days in hospital again a couple of weeks ago suggested this wasn't a good idea... So we're twenty mile from home near Matlock... Cinema for solo this afternoon in Chesterfield... Heights of Abraham tommorow.. Canal trip thursday then home... For a weekend away all 3 of us... In a hotel for that, Mrs V's camping days are over she reckons....

Could say the goal took a pounding!

Where are the bikes?

Camping, IMO, is a great way to get children interested in adventure, the outdoor life and develop respect for nature. And at the same time, they learn skills for life.

Enjoy!

At 11 surely he is old enough to sit on the back end of a tandem ??

Unfortunetly the car is so over weight with all the camping gear... Didnt want to risk a bike rack as well...

However a relative has a holiday house in the outer hebrides near Stornoway (honestly!!!

Me and mrs v have been but before we had ben...

The plan is a mega beano drive up to ullapool and take the bikes across as foot passengers in a few years...
