Morning After

Morning After

Open the photo gallery >> The morning after was a bit slow as Kas was feeling rather stiff, so we had a leisurely breakfast in the hotel whilst deciding what to do for the 3/4 of a day we had to fill before our flights home. Initially we decided we'd go for a...

Race Day

Race Day

Weymouth

Weymouth

Our final day in Dorset, which was spent mainly in Weymouth. The girls did a bit of “beach work” while I went geocaching. Then we had posh fish and chips for tea and the girls got hair braids.
