Camping in the New Forest

We have just had an awesome weekend camping in the New Forest with a whole bunch of our friends. While we were there we hired some bikes and had a cycle tour of the beautiful New Forest.


A quick dip in the stream to cool our hot and weary feet!

Make way for the hundreds of new forest ponies, they are everywhere.


While we were there it was Olly's 5th birthday so he had a birthday party. This is his mum icing his hedgehog cake 'camping style' - Olly has a very clever Mum!

the cake icing attracted quite an audience :-)

One of the many fun party games, tug of war - the dad's made it very competitive!

Happy Birthday to Olly - check out the cake !!!

Party time - unlocking the treasure chest which was full of party bags

Time out for the dads - all this competitiveness has taken it out of them!

We counted 10 families with 19 children, that is some camping arrangement!

Tea Time - Lottie and Liam enjoying some fine pesto pasta al fresco

Packing up on Sunday morning

All gone :( what a fabulous place to camp.

We stopped at Hill Head on the way home for some beach action, flying the kite was definitely on the agenda




1 guess what Zara wants to be when she grows up?
