This weekend 20 of us went camping about 2 miles outside
Pateley Bridge in Nidderdale. This is an annual event for nearly of us. There were 4 families plus one boyfriend, one teenager we were looking after and a teenage French student on an exchange visit. The campsite owner was extremely confused because there were such a lot of cars (7) with all the different families and different people stayed different nights. We split up into five teams for a car treasure hunt which had a pirate theme and took us all around the area ending up in a Druids Temple in the middle of a wood. It had taken the organisers two separate visits to organise and was brilliant. The temple was not signposted and rather spooky. We laid our treasure on the altar which included a recently deceased rabbit (road kill but not ours). The druids will wonder what all the stuff was at their next ceremony/visit. We also visited Fountains Abbey and Stoodley Grange water gardens which was great on a sunny day and the first time we have been to either place. The socks were an in-joke by the way.......we have done one of these pictures for the last ten years and I used to be second from the right and have been demoted to third. Helen always takes the photos so she never appears and if you look very carefully indeed you can see in the left hand corner the snout of Millie the dog.
