The Forbidden Corner
We went to the Forbidden Corner in North Yorkshire yesterday with lots of other families from ASDfriendly. This place is truly amazing and rather bizarre. A folly, consisting of woodland, mazes, underground tunnels and catacombs with all sorts of things to see, do and find. [I’ll post a link to their website, just as soon as I’ve worked out out to make it work with the blog software]
Older son and Mr BK had an absolute blast, particularly the lad. He shot off as soon as we arrived with a friend’s daughter and a sheet of clues. Over the next couple of hours, I caught glimpses of them running here and there, but we couldn’t keep up with them.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see as much as I would have wanted, as T didn’t really “get” the place. And there was an unfortunate incident near the beginning involving a jet of water, which freaked him out a bit. So we pottered around the quieter, water-free areas and I’ve resolved to go back unencumbered by children some time.
Mr BK took a few photos. it’s hardly a representative catalogue of the day out, but here goes;
this, apparantly is a painting on one of the mens urinals:

Part of the folly

He actually took more photos of the drive home. We took a short cut across Coverdale, which was a lovely road;

though we did encounter a few of these:

This is what happened to T 5 minutes after leaving for home;

I am so relieved that you have no problem about my daughter dragging your son into the bushes and compromising his reputation…
