Another long weekend, this time at one of our favourite site – Waterclose Meadows at Houghton Mill – with Sandra, Adrian and the Williamson family. We went for a long circular walk through the countryside and had a good evening meal at the Three Jolly Butchers pub in the village. The weather was good – people were swimming in the mill pond and most of our party even took to the river in various small craft!
On 1st July we drove up to a small campsite called The Paddock situated a very short walk from Rutland Water. We were spending 3 nights joining up with Sue & Mark, helping to celibrate his 60th birthday along with Sue’s daughter Rachael and her fiancé Alex (who braved the soggy weather in a tent!). It’s a beautifully positioned site, close to the Visitor’s centre, ideal for walks or cycle rides around the lake.
