Papplewick Pumping Station

Today, we explored the pumping station at Papplewick. It used to pump water to pipe into Nottingham. It was built in 1884 and has some great buildings and a massive James Watt steam driven beam engine. Joe learnt about the engine and the history of the pumping station.

Out in the Landy

The Landy was treated to new wheels and tyres this weekend so then went out to "test them" at Clumber Park. Joe did some driving in the woods and had a great bike ride. He was covered in mud and enjoyed splashing through the tracks. We followed up on foot.



On Sunday, we found a new nature park near Lincoln at a place called Whisby and went exploring over there. There are several lakes, a vistors centre and different walks to follow. Joe had liked being in the "hide" watching the birds out on the lake with the binoculars.
