Fulford


Rowan is at an EAC activity camp at the Mount all week, she has been doing archery amongst other activities [the mind boggles]. She is quite enjoying it, but it is not her favorite camp.

Danielle and I had a day off today, and walked to SlideShops by way of a great route. First we crossed Hob Moor, then the Knavesmire, before crossing the Ouse on the Millenium Bridge. Then we followed a path along Fulford Ings: this is the marshy area in the Ouse floodplane. A beautiful place with lots of bog and flowers [photo] which are all a mystery to me. There was a battle of Fulford in 1066 http://www.battleoffulford.org.uk/ . We had a good lunch at Prets then walked back. Great to walk together.
