Training Log Archive: Edmund

This first walk today we went from our apartment down the stAirs "No Dad I can do this on my own" and I slid down feet first on my tummy. Then off to the station past lots of canals and bikes but not so many people or TRAMS! Today as it was Sunday and very early for this city. We got to the TRAIN station (which I saw first from miles away - it was just off in the distance). Mum made me find platform 4B where our train was going from.

Mum and Ruth and I did the orienteering together today. There were two adult courses (33:28 and 40:00) and in between we did the kids course which had a special map, tapes to follow and pictures of miffy on the checkpoints. It was lots of fun exploring the canals and buildings. There were lots of little courtyards and playgrounds to sneak into and sometimes we crept through little alleyways. This is a REAL adventure! Said mum. I was a bit tired though and I said to her, but I only like pretend adventures mum. I had a hungry patch in the third course but I got over that pretty quickly and enjoyed the rest. I'm a good checkpoint-spotter!

To the starts and back from the finishes.

To and from the station in Utrecht to the orienteering. On the way back I was hopeful that we would catch the big train with the restaurant carriage, even after we went to the supermarket and bought cheese and ham and bread and raisin rolls and some local biscuits.

Instead of just changing trains at Utrecht Centraal we got out and walked a lap of the old town. It was soooo busy! There were canals and houses and tourists and then we had apple cake.

C • WE loved Utrecht too. 1

Back home from Amsterdam Centraal to our apartment. I was a bit tired and Dad carried me for 1 street before I walked again. Then we saw small cows with pictures on in a shop window before our great street where I counted the numbers up to our number, it's 286 you know. It wasn't as much fund as my walk with dad yesterday when we counted down from 800!!!
