Wednesday Adventures

A week ago we went on a little adventure by boat train and car. It was a Noah and Grandma and Auntie day. We all had so much fun. Sometimes little adventures not far from home are the best kind.

Hiking up Preikestolen

Last month I hiked up to the top of Preikestolen (pulpit rock) with my Auntie.  We took the ferry across from Stavanger to Tau. Then we drove along the coast up to the base of Preikestolen.

Remembering Frazer

image

On the (10th November) 1944 my Great Uncle paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom we all enjoy. That day he was shot down en route to a raid over France. He was a pilot officer in 97 Squadron in the RAF. Today I am remembering him for his courage and bravery.

Scafell Pike

A few weekends back I climbed up the highest mountain in England. It was a fun hike. Here are some pictures from the adventure.. Only Snowden (highest mountain in Wales) and Ben Nevis (highest mountain in Scotland) to go now of the highest mountains in the UK. Its one more thing thats ticked off the bucket list!
