Healthy eating

Marks the end of our cafe de coral breakfasts. After about three years they have decided to axe the set A and B combination. Whilst being no big deal it has now made it more complicated for me to order. Today is also the day our new helper arrives so from today onwards I expect home-made meals.

Wish us luck

Hike on the first day of the year

Hike

So, no prizes for the longest hike etc but it was one of our first for a long time. And it was raining harder as we climbed the hill so we decided that it was a good idea to turn around and go elsewhere.

I did manage to introduce the idea of using a map and compass which I think they didn’t really see the whole reason why we need one. Next time I hope we do something a little bit more aggressive  which will need a map.

I calculate the whole trip to be about 6km which is not too bad.

Decision on which camp site

Time just doesn’t stop. When I first put “camp” on my calendar it seemed so far away, now it seems too close.

The time has come that I must make that all important decision on which site do I choose otherwise they will all be full. So where do I start? Well maybe not by writing this post! Maybe I should be tossing a coin?

The choices were:
1. Gillwell campsite (a scout site)
2. Nam Shan campsite (a government site)

We did finally decide on the Gilwell option as we thought it would be a bit closer for us and at least we can book some space. We were a little worried that we can’t book the government site.

Now we have to start planning the programme for the camp.
