We went for a little ride up Rivvie this afternoon, so went on a touch further to grab a couple of pictures:

Running up to the Winter Hill mast will give me a keen appetite for the Blundell Arms later :)

I used to go and park up there in the early hours, as far up the track as you could get with my CB radio in my old green Lada. That'd be 1990..

I have requested a high chair Matt in case, but obviously that's up to you and your needs! :-D

Looking forward to meeting the north eastern contingent as discussed on Wednesday! :-D

I suspect James has too but better to 'have and not need' than to 'need and not have' !! :-D

Ha ha, great news, gosh hasn't it come around quickly!?

Should be ok without a high chair for James, he's at the stage of protesting if not on a normal chair like the rest of us! Shortening the distance between plate and his mouth limits the "fallout zone" radius a touch too! :)

:lol: Oh yes, absolutely spot-on Matt :D The same reasons Autumn is now out of a high-chair and because she's been studying Houdini, she can escape the harness and get out... Problem with doing this is that a high-chair is high and if she falls the injury risk is greater than falling off a normal chair.

She can also escape her car seat harness now unless it's done up tight enough to pin her down :lol: It's only a matter of time before she can push the harness release button...

James sounds like a real little character :-D I'm immensely looking forward to meeting both of you and if you want some excess energy dissipating then I can be of service, especially if he likes running ;) :lol:

We're quite lucky - both boys love being in the car, so a squabble about getting James in the seat's harness is rare!

William, now in a larger seat using the normal belt, has been belting himself in for about a year now.

William will be at school on the meet up day unfortunately, but James will likely be on the move as soon as released from his seat! Hopefully he will sit down long enough to eat his dinner, but we'll see!

As an example, I'm pretty sure they'll both want to come along for the "ride" in the car when I put it back on the drive shortly!
