We came home via Kielder and took the forest drive, twelve miles of mostly unmade road and apparently one of England's highest roads. Trip advisor has some brilliant reviews from several people who did not enjoy it one little bit "we went an average of 12mph" "actually frightening" "booked car into Kwik fit for underbody check after holiday"!! We also met some new furry friends, exmoor ponies on conservation grazing and an Indian Scops Owl.
Our third trip to Hesleyside, this time to their utterly spectacular "Skylark" - a cabin nestled in the trees, it somehow manages to be both massively imposing and to blend into it's surroundings. Taking glamping to another level, it is pure luxury and the perfect spot to kick back, relax and eat pizza of course. Hard to come back down to earth!
Jessica and three friends have just completed a three day ride, 75km in total over rough terrain. They went from Ben Alder lodge near Dalwhinnie to Invergarry via Loch Lundie, camping on route.
Chamfron Ojo de Tigre placed second in the foreign breed class in the Drum RDA's online show.
