Elena can now use the brakes, though it did take damaging the front reflector to get her to realise that she needed to learn to stretch her fingers that little bit more to reach them (;*

#LearningToRide

In a hiatus from bike riding we took another walk in #Watermead North Country Park, and discovered what we think is to be a maze, and also a Reedbed Nature Reserve that is only open three days of the week, closed on the day.

Elena definitely wants to take a look when it's next open.

Never got an email reply to my query, so I sent a message to the Facebook page for #Watermead North Country Park, this afternoon:

"[Rib-cage climbing-frame] was removed for safety reasons, due to general wear & tear &, unfortunately vanderlism (sic). As far as we are aware there are no plans to replace this structure. However we are making other improvements such as the small maze near to the car park, tree trail and new seating benches. Our bird hides will also be opening from Monday."

Found it...

I give you the #Watermead Polar Bear

I've emailed a query about it to the relevant authorities, so just have to wait to see if they'll respond.
