On Saturday I went hiking in the North York Moors. It was the first time I have been hiking for ages. The last time was some school trip. There were about 5 ‘short’ walks ranging from about 2.5 miles and 5 miles.
Got there at 11 and by the time everyone else had arrived and was ready it was almost 12. We went on a 2.5 mile walk which talk 1 and half hours. It was OK but it was very warm and my hayfever was kicking in 
We got back and had some food to eat. We then did another walk – not sure how far but i think it was about 3.5 (?!??) miles. Got back to the cars about 7 and had a picnic. We had lots of lovely food to eat thanks to someone making all the food – she spent the whole day before making it all 
(Thanks!!). After slowly eating the food, a little bit of football, some salsa dancing from some ppl and 12 ppl standing on a tree stump (it had to be seen to be belived – some photo evidence is around somewhere) we headed back home.
Took 2 hours 15 mins to get home – the same time as it took to get there in the morning – even if I did get a little lost. The roads were a lot quieter – no roadworks or accidents. Got back at 11pm and was knackered.
Sunday didnt do much – had a little lie in and did some food shopping. It was really warm outside and while typing this now its very sticky and can’t sleep (thats why I am writing this now). Watched the British GP which unfortunately wasnt that exciting. Jenson Button finished 5th in the end which was a shame – I suppose it could have been worse but would have been good if he was at least on the podium. Also, because of the aerodynamics of the cars nowadays overtaking seems to be a lot more difficult unless you have a much faster car – hopefully they sort something out for next year. Lets all the blame the FIA!!!
One thing I did notice about the GP was before the start during the minutes silence (as a mark of respect to the victims of the London bombings etc), was that I few drivers were talking. Some ppl also appears to come up to them so they acknowledge and said “hello”, “thanks” etc. I have a feeling they did not know the minute silence had start since it wasnt very clear. Part way through into it you could hear engineers in the garage reving engines and also some fans tooting horns. After about 2 minutes ppl just seemed to start walking back to the cars etc. It was all abit confusing and not that well organised.
