Out and About

As the summer is pretty much here my flatmates and I have taken to our bikes and adventured out in to the surrounding areas to take advantage of the pleasant weather. I’ve been surprised by what we have come across. As it is quite near, we headed to Summerfield Park a stones throw from my house, I’d not been there before in the past for walks I tended to go around Edgbaston Reservoir instead. I was amazed at how big it was and instantly thought I would bring my Nitro Buggy here next time it was in working order. We had a nose about and quickly found a small path leading off which we ventured down it. It must have been an old railway line as a lot of them have been converted into paths I believe.

It was pretty cool, we actually ended up somewhere near Harboure not sure where but we ended up coming back via the reservoir.

We’ve been out and about a few times and the second we stumbled across another park near Asda, its amazing how much you don’t notice when your driving around in the car. This park had a play areas for kids, the standard things, swings, slides etc but it had something else, something different, it had an outdoor gym. It was pretty cool, we had a quick workout that trained various muscles. The machines where quite clever as they mostly required your body weight as a weight for you to pull. I was impressed, I’d say this sort of thing makes taxes worth paying but I suspect this was funded from something else as it was cover in Olympics graphics and logos.
