Tack-cleaning, pre-BBQ.

Tom the destroyer of tennis balls.

The inferno commences. Chris quickly develops a suntan.

The serious debating society.

The pretty plague-free Derbyshire village of Ilam.

The pure waters of the river Dove.

The famous stepping stones at the bend in the river.

Not exactly fording the Yangtze Gorges  but a good few people fall in every day.

The glorious Dovedale valley.

Preparing the 4 wheel drives for action.
