Bank Holiday Sharing

So, the August Bank Holiday came upon us, and what better way to enjoy it than to go away in the caravan with friends. - Who were camping! Our very good friends the Flashman's

So, I booked both families into Theobalds Park in NW London, within very easy reach of the M25.

What a lovely little spot.  The weather had turned slightly so we had more cloud than sun, but it didn't spoil the weekend.

 We were very close to the Lee Valley Country Park, so we visited there for a walk around the lakes and along the canal.  We also hired two small electric boats for a trip along the river.  Ahh that was fun.

Along the canal

You take your life into your own hands here

The steering on these babies was very weird, to go in a vaguely straight line, you had to keep turning the wheel to the right then the left then the right then the left.. And hopefully you went sort of in a straight direction, but not always the direction you wanted.  

The hardest part was trying to stop the children from jumping overboard.  No I don't know why either.

Anyway we all survived and have agreed that next year we will hire one of the bigger canal type boats for the day and go of on a cruise and picnic type of thing.  Roll on next year.
