Me and my family went wild camping and we swam in Beacon Tarn. Mummy swam to the other side and for tea we had tuna pasta bake. It was fun!!!

Doucier beach
After a leisurely start to the day and a chance to get a couple of loads of washing done, we packed up some lunch and our swimming kit and headed off on our bikes to Doucier Beach. Once there we pitched our sun tent under the shade of the trees and got changed. The water …
Enjoying the campsite
The overnight rain prompted us to get out the tarp and rig it up so we have a covered entrance to the tent. The only slight flaw with our tent (and it is the only one we have found since purchasing it in 2010) is that when it rains, the sloped front of the tent …
Two wheel adventures
After breakfast at the site, one of our first jobs of the holiday is to go to the supermarket and stock up on provisions for the week. We head off to Lons-le-Saunier were Lays research had found a large supermarket open. We were soon stocked up with food and drink and returned to the campsite …

Walks, Wheels and Water
Today I was on the early shift so get up when William wakes leaving Daddy and Megan sleeping. After his morning bottle, Daddy and Megan are still fast asleep so not wanting to disturb them we get dressed and head off to the boulangerie to get breakfast croissants and pain au raisans and a baguette for lunch. …
A day at Domaine de Chalain
It looked set to be another sunny day at Domaine de Chalain (the official name of our campsite) so we decided to spend a relaxing day properly exploring the site. So without further ado we set off with Megan on her scooter. This is the first time she has used it for any length of time …
Woo hoo – it’s sunny
After wall to wall rain since saturday evening the sun FINALLY decides to put in an appearance! This prompts a surge in activity starting with getting two loads of washing done and out on the line. After the domestic chores are done we set off for a bike ride around Lac de Chalain. This provides …
