During the remainder of our Sabbatical Martin and I are hoping to go camping for a week each month, so last Sunday after church we headed off to Ambury Park. My fitness has definitely improved: the first time we went there it took me 1h13; this time was 58 min cycling time, although a little more than that as we stopped near the park to buy mandarins from a family fundraising for their son's rugby boots. Quite a treat to have extra fruit when camping - heavy things are always at a premium!
There was hardly anyone in the campsite so we put our tent a bit closer to the amenities area than usual - and right next to a stunning wee glade that stayed remarkably dry when it rained.

On the whole we had fantastic weather, but it was a bit wet on Sunday when we were getting there (and on Friday on the way home, too). We were using our old tent, which isn't wonderfully waterproof, hence the tarp over the top for extra protection. The photo above is from Monday morning, and you can see all our wet stuff drying on a long line at the right!
