LEE VALLEY BOAT CENTRE Another tick on the bucket

LEE VALLEY BOAT CENTRE

Another tick on the bucket list: I hadn’t been on a canal boat and I certainly hadn’t steered one before today. We had a fantastic day on the River Lee although life at 4mph is actually pretty hectic and exhausting.

We’ve negotiated locks, moored for lunch, survived a day without anyone falling in and we didn’t shout at each other too much 🤣

When you see a canal boat chugging gently by from the tow path it looks relaxing and idyllic but you do have to concentrate all the time and we probably could have done with at least one other adult to help manage small child, locks and navigation but we did it and we even managed to dodge most of the showers of rain.

If you’re not ready for a whole day in a boat then Lee Valley Boat Centre hire our little pleasure boats for shorter trips too.

Now we are all exhausted and ready for a cuppa and some rest. Let me know if you have any questions about hiring a boat for the day.

The Alban Way is a disused railway track that stretches from Hatfield to St Albans. On a Sunday morning it’s busy with walkers, runners and cyclists.
💛💙💛
Believe it or not, you might also come across a ghost or two. You can wait on the platform which is beautifully maintained by the local community. We didn’t see a ghost train... this time.
💛💙💛
There are lots of disused railway lines to explore in Hertfordshire. Now we are all on two wheels I expect that we’ll be getting to know these trails in the coming months!

PENSTHORPE NATURAL PARK

Last week we had a stunning day out at @pensthorpe_natural_park in North Norfolk. The walks through the reserve are beautiful and full of dragonflies, butterflies and we even saw some furry caterpillars! However, the kids will tell you that the best bit is the natural play area.
💚💚💚
We visited on a terrifically hot day in the heatwave but the play area is full of trees with welcome shade, a stream runs through the area where you can splash, paddle and play. The slides are epic, there’s lots of ropes to climb, an amazing sand pit and even a little zip line.
💚💚💚
We found it easy to keep our distance from others and there was plenty of space to enjoy the walks and playground. The weather was also 💛☀️💛. It’s honestly one of our favourite playgrounds and I wish more places would take a leaf out of Pensthorpe’s when designing play areas for children.
💚💚💚

Our heatwave holiday is over. It’s lovely to be home but I am so grateful to have had the sun on my face, the sand in my toes and salt in my hair. It was so hot I even went swimming in the sea!
💙💙💙
We were supposed to visit Norfolk in May but travel restrictions meant that we stayed at home. Thankfully we were able to move our holiday to August and it was worth the wait ☀️
💙💙💙
Now to unpack, put the washing on and find something in the freezer for dinner 🤣
💙💙💙

(AD-press tickets) At the weekend we were invited to try a session @rumbleliveactiongaming and we had a fantastic time.
🌲💥🌲💥
Rumble Live is a laser tag experience in a woodland arena at Grafham Water. It’s lots of fun, you are put into teams and run around completing different missions over the course of an hour.
🌲💥🌲💥
So much fun outdoors, easy to keep distanced from others and something the whole family can do together, from 8 years old upwards.
🌲💥🌲💥
My review with top tips and a short video are now on The Mummysphere blog. We really enjoyed Rumble Live and we will book to go again. Grafham Water is also a beautiful spot for a picnic, a walk or a scoot.
