We went for a long cycle ride for three hours along some of the bike tracks in the forest. I must admit the three hours did include a pub stop and numerous photo shots. We rode up and down hills, mostly on gravel, and along some of the single lane sealed roads. The scenery was beautiful. And we had lots of fun! 
The forest is famous for its ponies which have the freedom to wander around the heathland and woods. 
Posing!
Donna, Scott and Lucy - more posing!
Walter ended up posing outside the pub, after we had a very refreshing drink! He was really keen to get going back up the hill but had to wait, not so patiently, for us to take all our photos.
I know it doesn't look like it, but Lucy and I are actually riding up a hill. And we made it to the top!
We also went for a long walk in the woods, made longer by the fact that we got lost and had to walk through brambles and over very boggy ground. After realising that all our telephones had no phone or internet access, therefore no Google maps, we decided to follow the setting sun, which we decided was the direction of the campsite. Luckily we were correct and found the campsite before dark.

Relying on modern technology can be a problem. Walter used the satnav to find the way back to the campsite after our bike ride. Donna and I followed behind in the car. What a trip! Walter and his satnav took us down narrow streets, dead end streets, one way streets. In the end Donna and I decided to go our own way and use Donna's general sense of direction to get home. Success!
We had a great few days, except for the fact that I lost badly at Uno! Why me?
Tomorrow we are off up to Stratford-upon-Avon and Warrick Castle with Steve, Emma, Jackson and Isabel. I am working on some new Uno strategies!
