August 23 to 26, 2019 - A Visit to Whinfell Forest - Center Parcs near Penrith

 
Just a few more pictures to amplify Sunday's posting. Click on any image to get a better version/slideshow.
 
The picture above shows the swimming and aqua centre, where no photos were taken due to the risk of moisture damage. Not to say that no damage was incurred, as one of my ears is still inundated....
 
We arrived in our chalet for eight plus Oscar the dog on Friday, and Sue, Jacob and I enjoyed a brief excursion to Penrith parkrun on Saturday morning - reported here.
 
At some point during the weekend, some kind person took the following group picture.
 
 
The sports hall is pretty vast. At the back of the left side of the following shot are some squash courts, one of which has been adapted to host some family games that were great fun.
 
 
Outside, Jess enjoyed an 'off road' experience. She seems to like driving.
 
 
Football Pool, which Sue and I enjoyed at Sherwood Forest, was a winner here.
 
 
Mike and Sarah enjoyed frequent visits to the Pancake House, from which there's a good view over the lake. A close up lens may have spotted some of the red squirrels that live in this forest.
 
 
Short tennis tested Jacob's ball skills.
 
 
There was some more driving for Jess, this time without the aid of an electric motor.
 
 
"Look no hands" - Kate was busy teaching advanced driving skills to the five year old.
 
 
Jacob went high.
 
 
As did Sue.
 
 
The go-karts were a popular choice.
 
 
Golfing took place. The winner is holding the trophy!
 
 
More ball skills, with Mike demonstrating his expertise with the small bat.
 
 
By now, and after numerous activities not captured on film - aqua sports, owls, massages, gym, etc etc, it was Monday afternoon - time for a final visit to the flumes, rapids and canyon of the pool before joining the homeward bound queues on the M6 motorway.
 
Thanks, everyone, for a most enjoyable weekend.
