Rutland

After a lazy morning we packed the children's bikes in the car and headed to Rutland Water for a bike ride/walk. We walked all the way from Normanton Church round the lake to Sykes Lane where there was a water sports festival. It was a good hour walk and we stopped half way for a picnic on a little beach on the lake shore.

We didn't see much of the festival, other than watching the wind surfers doing their thing on the water. The children went straight to the park to have a run around and then we had ice creams in the cafe.

The walk back to the car was a bit of a slog and both kiddies were struggling a bit, but did very well with minimal moaning. My fit bit said we had done 14,000 steps which is just over 6 miles!

James and I awarded ourselves for such an active day with a Chinese for tea.
