DAY NINE - Keld to Reeth (12miles) Saturday 12 August 2017

So, kids.  What did you do today on your summer hols?

<--- We skipped swimming under the waterfall today to go on an adventure.

Dad tried to fix up an old tractor to catch us, but we think there may be a part or two missing. --->

Then we played house.  The gingerbread house of Hansel and Gretal.  Don't forget to wash your meat before cooking.

Ultimate space invaders came next.  Although the master baddy seemed an easy target. --->

<--- After that, Lizzie tried to get a job at the old Victorian lead mines.  They said she was too old.

After escaping a dangerous avalanche....

...we levitated over a river.  Honestly!  Urm, just please don't look at the photo in 'close-up'.  --->

<--- Did we mention we climbed up a mountain?  Almost...!  Again!

Mum went kind of red and blotchy.  Lucky dad still fancies her.  We caught them kissing at the top.  No pics though.  EW!

Tilda went looking for Santa Claus.  Definitely not stuck up this chimney.

Oh.  One more thing.  We raised tons of money for charity!!!

Want to play with us tomorrow?

'L went to a refugee camp in Greece as a volunteer. He spent three weeks there, helping with a non-government organisation provide food and support for the refugees. He returned with stories of people, far beyond the title ‘refugees’. People like the doctor who had had to flee and was stuck in limbo; of children playing together; of passionate volunteers trying to help; passionate refugees trying to need less help. Those three weeks have made an impact on L – an impact that will be felt in years to come.'
