Ann and Ceri-Siân relaxing soon after we had pitched our tents. The double toilet tent is a bit on the large size, but I got so we could use it as a shower tent as well. I use the bucket and mug method to shower - a simple low tech method that works anywhere.

Friday afternoon I went for cycle ride by myself around the local lanes. I "crossed" the boundary en route.

Saturday we went on a car assisted cycle ride from Watehouses for a ride along part of Morridge and back along the Manifold trail. This is Ceri-Siân approaching the top of the track from Waterhouses towards Morridge.

After wearing Ann and Ceri-Siân out, Sunday we had a lazy day and went for drive which included going back on to Morridge to take photos of the heather and views. View looking west from near Mermaid view point.İStephen Dee

Ann wanted me to take photos of the heather. A more artistic one - I used a slow shutter speed (1/6th Sec) and a small aperture (f36) to create a blur effect due to the swaying of the heather in the wind.
