Another beautiful dawn on Red House Farm with the morning sun jewelling the dew on the freshly bailed meadow. Sausage butties and Frosties for breakfast followed by picnic making and prep for the days activities.
Back in the day some US military guys thought they saw strange lights in the sky. A UFO obviously! And the Forestry Commission have been cashing in ever since! The old air base surrounded by beautiful woodland is now open to picnickers and nature lovers and has planned walks and cycle routes as well as wooden climbing frames and den building material hidden around the forest. We have been here twice before and both times I've longed to be at the point where we coild all being able to make use of the cycle trails. With Noah's new found cycling skills this turned out to be the year!
We headed off with the trailer stuffed with four bikes and the little bike trailer for Reuben and two more bikes on the car. We arrived, assessed the options and plumped for the ambitious but dooable six mile route. Naomi packed a scummy picnic which we enjoyed after a couple of miles. Noah fell off a lot but we all had a brilliant time and arrived back dirty and worn out.
Mexican wraps on the fire followed by some Combine watching, sunset snaps and story time and the day was done. Beach tomorrow!
