Landmark

Do you like my new wellies? I think they're very cool. We had to get them… Mummy and Daddy forgot to bring my shoes when we went to visit Granny and Grandpa at the weekend! Can't just pop home for a pair when it's a two hour drive.

On Saturday, after Daddy and I burned all the garden waste (Daddy's mood is always better if he gets to have a fire at Granny's!), we went to Landmark Adventure Park in Carrbridge. We spent almost the whole day there and had loads of fun. We were on all three of the water slides and went on the Tarzan Trail twice. Daddy and I tried to climb the climbing wall - Daddy complained that he'd been put on the hardest section of the wall and didn't even get higher than my height. He also managed to blame his boots for the poor effort. I got higher than Daddy with some help from Mummy but it was more fun coming down on the automatic belays!


There was a lot to see there. We had a walk around the Tree Top Trail in the Ancient Woodland and learned lots about the animals of the forest. Microworld was decorated for Hallowe'en and a bit scary at times. Daddy and I played with the radio controlled cars and had brilliant fun and didn't really fall out at all when we played with the mechanical digger. How do we get one of those for home?
There's lots of climbing frames and slides for us kids to play on and a really tall forest tower that goes higher than all the trees. I counted and there were 108 stairs to the top.

We walked around the Wild Forest Maze and it was fun to take a wrong turn and see more of the interesting things in there. The only thing we didn't wait to see was the steam powered saw mill. We did go there but it wasn't working when we passed through. It's OK though as Mummy had so much fun we're definitely going back. We also have to take Daddy's good camera next time. He thought he'd brought it but had actually left it at Granny's so it's phone photos again I'm afraid. He tried to blame Mummy again (like he blames her for forgetting the shoes) but it was really his fault this time.
