Or pedals & punts, if you prefer. On Saturday morning I set off on the bike in search of the highest point in Essex. There's not much to see there, it's just a wood on a rise near the Cambridgeshire border. It's about the same height as Corstorphine Hill, but less prominent. Essex, albeit the other end of it, is the location for the Olympic Mountain Biking event. We couldn't visit Saffron Walden without visiting One Minet Park with Louis and his bike. As skateparks go, it seems more board-oriented than Edinburgh's, but there are still plenty of bikes in evidence. Louis pottered happily on the kiddie practice area while the grownups (and Holly) sat in the shade and read on what was another scorching day. Grandad, meanwhile, was playing the last rugby game of the season in Cambridge, so we met him there and went punting on the Cam, a very pleasant way to end a hot day. Even Holly had a wee go.
