Camping in the Cotswolds.

We had a lovely time camping.  We did some geocaching (found 3, did not find 2 that we looked for)... we went swimming in a local indoor pool (while it rained outside)... we had a nice pub lunch, a chinese takeaway, an indian takeaway... we "cooked" in camp once.... I ate lots of croissants for breakfast.

We had to move our tent to the pitch next to ours for the final night because we didn't book in advance... but that was all good fun.

Best fun of all (for me!) was going to Blenheim Palace... we didn't actually go IN the palace but walked in the grounds (looking for and failing to find a geocache) and then took the free mini train to the butterfly house, the maze and the adventure park... and WE GOT IN FOR FREE! The geocache pointed out that Blenheim palace has public footpaths going across it, and that if you know where the gates are (well hidden (co-ords given on the geocaching site) - the one we went through was down someones gated driveway!) ... then you don't have to pay to get into the grounds. The signs on the gates point out that you may not have access to all parts of the grounds... but we certainly ddin't have any difficulty getting onto the free train etc etc!
