This week we have had friends round, we've been to friends houses for the day and we have done more Geocaches!! Well..... and a bit more in between. We had a lovely walk up some woods in Staveley with rope swings, big trees to climb and lots of nooks and crannies to build dens in, so definately one to go back to in better weather!









Today we went off to Shap to drop off some stuff at our favourite charity shop, managed to get six new plates for 40p! an outfit for Eilidh and some books, videos and toys for about £2.50...fantastic, the best charity shop in the world!! After having our lunch we then headed off to find more geocaches around Shap. The first one was near a big stone in the middle of a field...










then we went further down the road and went off to find two more on Shap Fell.It was VERY windy and boggy but it was a beautiful walk down a lovely river, over bridges, up crags and through some pine woods.












We were hoping to get a couple more done but after getting out of the car and nearly going flying we decided it was just a bit too windy so they will be saved for another day. The kids are really enjoying doing these walks as there is an incentive at the end (little things to swap!) and we are discovering some lovely new places we probably wouldn't think of going to otherwise. Yes, we are addicted!!
