We were in CentreParcs Sherwood Forrest for three nights, the weekend before Easter.

You tend to do most of your traveling between the various venues by bicycle.
|
None of us are any good.

This was Alex's favourite sport, so we had to do it twice. There are 18 holes in two sets of nine. There didn't seem to be a lot of scope for skill, just whack it and hope.
|
This was one of the more diabolical holes. You had to get the ball between the posts of the gate and then the hole was half way up a hill. |

You can see the climbing centre in the background. We didn't try this. |

This is a model of Robin Hood and Little John fighting over the stream. It was very hard to get a good angle to see it properly, I had to fight my way into the woods. |
We played badminton a couple of times. The courts are quite strange as they have a sort of green felt carpet rather than the usual boards.

This was quite interesting. I didn't take many photos though as I was taking part. Of those I took the best one accidentally got deleted. Not as bad as archery, though, where I deleted them all.
|
You can just see the pigeon in the sky, I think we winged this one. |
|
This is one of the towers the pigeons shoot out of. |
This was a guided cycle ride around some of the Sherwood Pines Park. We were lucky with the weather here, as most of the weekend it was raining.
