Letterboxing in London

We kidnapped our youngest grandson last Monday and went letterboxing. It was a really beautiful day. Our first stop was to pick up Whomping Willow. I didn't even know that entrance to the park existed. The clues were great!

Next stop: Harry Potter's Staunch Supporters. Excellent hike. Cam got a little nervous at one point. The trail definitely comes close to the edge in spots! Hal and I are planning on visiting the museum some time soon with all 3 grandsons. Maybe we'll attend this event.

They make all their ice creams on site and sell in bulk as well as individual cones.
