Walking & Zorbing & Grafting
Walking & Zorbing & Grafting
After my brush with disaster a few weeks ago, I’m pretty much back to full-strength now just in time for a short break to the Rivers Edge Holiday Park between High Bentham and Ingleton. The plan is, we will have a few family days together followed by a few days where I’ll be grafting at the hall.
On those days, Rachel will take the kids out to explore until I finish. At which point, we all get cleaned up, eat dinner together and then probably have a go at stargazing in the hot tub later on.
Our first few days are family based though so we’re off to Morecombe for a few hours of scooting, stone skimming, play area climbing, fresh-air inhaling and giving the dog a chance to sniff amongst the more shingle-filled beaches where dogs are allowed. We all like it here and it’s great to have a place like this just a short drive away.

We haven’t really had to go far from the parking area when we find out there is a fair on and the kids are keen to have a go at zorbing. We head to a few of the stalls before we carry on with our walk.
It’s all a bit strange as we recently watched ‘The Bay’ on ITV and recognise a few of the landmarks. The programme is a bit gritty and dark but we have always found the place to be very welcoming!
Whilst I’m off hammering and basically making a mess, Rachel has taken the kids to Ingleton Waterfalls for a ramble. Now they’ve grown since their first visit, they make short work of the uneven pathways. It’s probably harder on Rachel and Embers’ legs as they try to keep up. Rachel has been snapping away though, so when I return, filthy and tired, I get a full run-down.
Something which the kids weren’t expecting though was a visit to the Ingleton Outdoor Pool. They are both good swimmers and getting them into the water is too good an opportunity to pass up. Rachel signed them in and sits comfortably on the side-lines as they burn off some energy.
There are pictures galore once I get back. I’ve had a really productive week and the kids have had a great time with me and their mum. As a bonus, we all feel like we’ve all had a bit of time to relax.
