In March I had a day trip to Köln,  making use of a £2 each way fare including taxes.  As you can see, the weather was a bit wet!

The first destination of our French trip was the Chemin de fer de la Baie de Somme.  This a preserved metre gauge system in Picardie.  At the weekend it is possible to see simultaneous departure of steam trains.   Note also the mixed gauge, gauntleted track.

In July we went cycle camping with our friends near Oxford, to Days Lock on the Thames.  Ann took the opportunity to practice juggling with 3 apples.  This later turned to playing catch with with Ceri-Siân.

In August we went to the Tandem Club Rally, at Longstone Hall, near Bakewell in the Peak District.  We took Melisa, Ceri-Siân's cousin with us and rode/pushed the triplet.  This view shows Melisa and Ceri-Siân helping Jane Sherwood push her triplet up a hill whilst her two Tom and Libby enjoy the walk.

It has become a tradition at Tandem club rallies for a morning kids club.  It has also become tradition that a certain big kid joins in rather then helps.  Here I am making Ann a pasta necklace.

They had a rest day and the kids went and did a team exercise on the Adventure playground at Longstone Hall.  The girls were teamed up against the boys.  There was a bit of cheating going on on both sides.  Here is Ann giving Melisa a hand, Ceri-Siân who was next got the same help.

In September I went with work to Alton Tower on a "thank you" event for a project I have been involved with for 7 years.  This is "Air", I went on and got an industrial injury!  After I got off I developed a limp, I presume to G force pressure on my hip.  I got no sympathy at work the next day!

The last weekend in September we did our final camp of the year at Rushey Lock on the River Thames.  We cycle camped with our friends the Jeffery family from their house near Oxford.  Saturday evening sitting around the traditional cycle camping tables, upturned BOB yaks.  Ann, Philip, Caroline, Stephanie and Ceri-Siân.

Brünnhilde our tandem had a facelift in the autumn.  Belton mince pie run was her first outing following it.  Here she is with Yasmine our yak decorated in our traditional style.
