The journey from home to the camp site, being well over four hours in duration, was the longest we'd undertaken with Julian. The van took to the road well, with no problems in fact...though we found it quite tiring, and Alan found the steering heavy, compared to the comfort of a modern car.
I'd booked to meet with friends at the Arthur Findlay College on the Saturday during part of their open week.
Following our meet-up at the College, in the evening we enjoyed a meal together at the nearby 'Dog and Duck' (where we enjoyed exceptionally delicious food!).
Then, on the Sunday evening I shared a séance at a friends house nearby.
Between times my husband and I wandered around the Dobbs Weir area...and whilst I was away from the campsite 'doing my own thing' he took the dog for long walks.
Lee Valley is lovely, with canals, open river and abundant water life. The camp site at Dobbs Weir was ok, though to be honest we would have preferred to have less kids around. It didn't help that we were designated a parking space near a play area...though our small dog enjoyed all the attention she received.
