Wendover Woods

For Bank Holiday we drove west to Forestry Commission owned Wendover Woods in Buckinghamshire on the edge of the Chilterns. It was a bit wet at times but we were able to have a picnic lunch in an under cover area where we watched people on the zipwires in the Go Ape section. We then did one of the walks. You can see the chalk stones in the mud of the paths. We got a few glimpses of the Aylesbury Vale. Just under a mile there were activities to do every tenth of a mile (sit ups, lifts, chin ups, etc). I did it all to bronze standard except the chin ups - couldn't do the required number. Dewi felt unwell so stayed in the car. (Rhodri was packing for a trip to Paris the next day). Driving back we passed a village complete with fete and cricket on the green - very English. Back here the kids watched a film on TV Haunted Mansion - not very good. A very pleasant day.
