It’s a family affair…

You can pack an awful lot in to a weekend. Walking, running, cycling, swimming, singing, beautifying, swinging (golf clubs), quad biking, laser questing, ping ponging, escape rooming, teddy bear making, duck feeding, eating, drinking, laughing, memory making…

Location: Centre Parcs, Penrith
Invitees: McRookes and BucksRookes
Mission: A family affair

In short we had a wonderful time. I’d heard mixed things about Centre Parcs but I genuinely had a really great time. The setting, the activity, the company. There was slight Hunger Games vibes when I ran round the perimeter fence a couple of times but we were in an ideal central location – walking or cycling distance to everything. We managed to pack in a wide range of activity despite some favourites being booked out (no treetop climbing, swinging or ziplining) and we ate lovely food with great company. Special thanks to Will and an award to him for max time possible in the pool. And lovely to spend time with my brother and family post parents. On the way back we debriefed about our favourite activities – conclusion was pretty much all of them. For the family affair though it had to be the karaoke booth!!
