    Default Jakes first woodland wander

    This afternoon saw a very special event for myself and Lisa
    Jake had his first walk around our local woods!
    first off Jake and his big sister released the painted lady butterflies Shannon had reared from caterpillars

    A gentle amble along a woodland trail

    Before introducing Jake to a grandfather Oak tree

    Jake investigated what he could spy

    Jake and Shannon did some tree climbing

    we then wandered further along to where the RSPB is converting an old sand quarry back to heath land

    Jake really seemed to enjoy the view and looks like he could wander for hours

    let it be known that after walking down a steep slope Jake decided he couldn't walk for hours after all and daddy had to carry him back to the car
    nothing like starting them young eh?
    not the most 'bushcrafty' of trips out but wanted to share
    thanks for looking and coming with us

    I know its a harness - but in a couple of shots, Jake looks like he is wearing a daysack with hydration system

    Give it another six months...... we're just working out beakers at the moment
    i specifically wanted a pack rather than the traditional harness to get him used to wearing a pack (it didn't have anything in it this time maybe next time)
