Notes

2km bike ride to park (and 2km back) was brilliant – very good practical demonstration of how “exercise” can simply be an integral part of family/everyday activity. Instead of jumping in the car, a cycle ride up the road, some fun at the playground and then a cycle home. Brilliant.

There’s a public barbie there too, so future trips may involve having breakfast out!

Coould be a handy little circuit for the future too. 4km round trip (walk, run or cycle), large playing fields (and an oval). Loads of potential.
