Just getting kitted up was fun in itself. Whoever invented waders needed to invent waterproof zips too, so we could get them on without falling over. Jess was very good at falling over!
Jess thinks the colour clashes with her T-shirt (oh no!)
Ready to (not) get wet then - Jess and Evie model the latest in wader fashion
Sam got one - At least we can eat tonight!
A quick nip to the most amazing Washburn Heritage Centre astounded the girls. We walked through a graveyard and past Fewston church (originally from 1697 I think!). As we rounded the corner, the girls mouths hit the floor as this amazing modern annexe appeared with a lovely cafe inside - good job, as it was lunchtime and all that casting meant we were dead hungry.

After the mornings angling (which has been around for years on the reservoirs) the afternoon was taken up encountering some of the brand new facilities - the red and blue trails in the woods around the reservoirs. The girls loved it and it was ace to be able to be in the same area but do slightly different trails. As you can imagine, all 4 girls each look for something different - smooth and simple; lumps and bumps; corners, steps and technical stuff, as well as longer and shorter options, so we have our hands full when we head out riding!
The new Green, Blue and Red trails are all close to each other, so we were saved, and the girls loved it. Hannah zoomed round the blue bits whilst Evie, Jess and Martha took on the red and did great, though the chicken runs were used on occasion!

And after all that activity, we celebrated with the days catch. How simple was this? Oven on. Quick fillet, lemon, basil, 15 minutes and on our plates. Yum yum, delicious.
Dan dan, not a fisherman
