2. Play with the kids' toys.
This was the best magnetix model that was made. Note the two-shell design utilising squares and triangles.
3. Run a fell race.
Mrs Noel did Windgather fell race today. She wasn't mad keen on doing a long race (13 miles). But she needed to do it to complete the Goyt Valley series, which she won to retain her trophy. It was also a counter in the Gritstone series, which she finished in second place.
Ah, that used to be called dead man's crawl when I was in the Scouts. Yes, it's very effective.
