Number 36- bike ride with family.

Managed to complete this one (this time) when on holiday in the New Forest at Sandyballs. George and Sophie had their bikes (thanks mum and dad for bike rack!) and Iain and I hired our bikes.


We followed a short route (over 7 miles) through the New Forest were we saw wild donkeys. Sophie wanted to meet every one of them!!




The views across the New Forest:


Although hard work (getting George and Sophie to pedal up hills) we had a great bike ride. It was sunny for a change (yes as always on Wallace family holidays it rained a bit every day (only one thunderstorm!!)).

George and Sophie also spent a couple of hours on their bikes as mudrats - cycling around a forest trail through mud, playing games and having fun!!


Here are the mudrats



Here are some more shots from the holiday:

Our tent (which was fantastic)



Inside the tent -don't look at the mess but do notice our carpet and wardrobe!! (yes that's right in a tent!!)



The rain!


playing monopoly in a thunderstorm!!



We went on a forest trail walk





When we came here 2 years ago we met a family in a tent next to us. There were Jo, Phil, Katie and Emma. It turned out that Jo went to my primary school at the same time I was there (Woodend). She was in 2 years above and my mum remembered her. Anyway they were there again - was great to see them! They had upgraded to the same tent as us - and agreed it is fab!
