We took advantage of the glorious sunshine to take Daniel on his first trip to the Lake District. Our destination was Graythwaite, with the aim of Steve and I both getting to do an orienteering course. Once we arrived, we quickly realised though that with a 2.7km walk to the start, it was going to be pretty impossible for both of us to compete.
So Steve opted to look after the baby, and I took the chance to do my first orienteering for many months. The light green course was great, though pretty tough, and I blame all my mistakes on being preoccupied most of the way round with wondering whether Daniel would be letting everyone in the assembly field know that he was hungry in the only way he knows how!
As it was, he was waiting quite contentedly with Daddy to meet me at the finish (although apparently it had taken a 45 minute walk in the pram to get him into that calm and happy state!) Anyway, we all survived, learnt a few lessons (e.g. need to buy some sun cream and a sun hat for the little man) and greatly enjoyed the day out.
