Saturday Night

After lunch we headed out on the bikes to see what cycle tracks there are. In all I'm a bit disappointed with the cycling. The map and publicity suggest great cycling but apart from using bikes to get from a to b there's no real place to cycle.
We did ask at the bike hire centre for suggestions but apart from the local roads, which there was no maps available of, only the paths on site were available, but these would all be suitable for road bikes.
The reality was a little different. The designated paths were all in good condition, but there just wasn't enough to have a decent cycle, and too busy to really do laps on. The other paths were not really suitable for road bikes with tree stumps and deep ruts, though that was also due to the amount of recent rain.

Fiona not impressed with the off road prospect
We did have one particularly 'exciting' stretch where Ciaran, not appreciating what the sign saying 'No through Route' meant, passed it on what turned into a very muddy path.

Spent the end of the evening with Christine and her lot in the pool. This was great fun as there are slides, flumes, a canyon ride and wave machine.


Ciaran cooked tonight. He made jambalaya which was really good. He has a habit of cooking while away and has promised to cook at least 3 meals. If they are as good as tonight we will be well fed.
