Stewart Norcross lives opposite me and shares the same passion for the great outdoors. Needless to say we've done many a walk together (usually from pub to pub on Longton high street) but more serious endeavors have included the "Three Peaks Challenge" in 2009. This weekend was Stewart's 40th birthday, so stress and hassle were not an option. Seven of us headed north to enjoy a glorious weekend at Centreparcs Penrith...
Battle of the barbies: Alex and Stewart duel for outdoor masterchef supremacy.
Can't possibly eat indoors when other people leave this kind of mess on the table. Disgusting.
Red Squirrel, 14/06/14, Centreparcs Penrith. In its natural environment: a log-cabin window ledge eating monkey nuts. Red squirrels are very approachable here, very used to humans.
Rabbit, 14/06/14, Centreparcs Penrith. Even more approachable, I could almost reach out and grab it.
Badgers, 15/06/14, Centreparcs Penrith. Typical, you wait 43 years to see one, then four turn up at once! Many thanks to the very sociable wardens who pointed me in the right direction. This was, without a doubt, the highlight of the trip. (Mind you, beating Mike at table tennis came a close second).
