FF looks great as usual. Nice to see the regular visitors finding out about new places to go.

You weren't mad for doing all the walking Geoff, just quite rightly, full of life and vigour.

Wendy and Geoff,

Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

What happened to the glamped up bell tent (as in your own bell tent, and not FF's)?

Didnt want to put theirs to shame dk.

We wanted to give the new tent an outing. Wasnt going to buy it just yet but got a really good deal on it, so went for it . Made a change to rough it a bit this time.

Thanks FTS5 considering this was me a year ago, I have a lot to be thankful for.

And exactly a year later.

We are heading there hopefully on the 10th August, but it depends on how my husband's chemo goes on the 7th. Hopefully we will be able to get the tent up ok and maybe the awning , then we can just relax and rest. Katie has been so helpful already allowing us to amend our booking and letting us know where the nearest hospital is if needed --- so fingers crossed we make it!!

We'll have left by then but i'm sure there will be plenty of people willing to give you a hand getting your tent up if you're struggling, that's the sort of place it is

Thank you Tracey and Geoff - that's the reason we are even contemplating it!! Chemo wasn't too bad this morning and results show so far the combined treatments are doing their job! Fingers crossed!
