Another brilliant weekend at Hill of Oaks, many thanks to Di & Jamie for organising and arranging good weather again :wink:

Hannah thanks everyone who let her have ago in the varied boats that were available, especially the yellow Ocean Kayak which, due to her excellent paddling skills, saw her drifting off towards Newby Bridge :lol:

A few pictures from us:

First, the Bongo pictures....

Image

Right, that’s enough Bongos. Now the wildlife shots....

Image

Image

Next, the crazy dog competition, entered by....

Holly, a Working Cocker leaping off the south pier....

Image
Tilly, seemingly swimming all the way across the lake :?

Image
Holly, a Working Cocker leaping off the north pier.... :shock:

Next, the mystery object competition....

Image
What is it....

Image
....is it a bird, is it a plane....

Image
....ah, it’s SnowKiter :?

Next, the “Riding a bike off the end of the pier competition”, entered by Gary....
