A new mode of transport

We went Segwaying a few weeks ago.  It was a present for Elspeth for her birthday, as she's always wanted a go.  So she got to seg her way around a nice part of the Lake District for an hour or so, and I got to play with Marisca.  After they'd all poddled off we climbed a little hill, did some rock climbing, and went to dibble our feet in the lake.  And found a tractor to play with, although she was a bit scared of that.

Here's Elspeth trying to get over the shock of being volunteered to be first to step up - she'd expected the bride-to-be to be volunteered.  (That's why there are people dressed in pink things behind her, one of which is holding a cushion.  Actually, that doesn't explain their dress at all, but does put them into a 'I'm not meant to understand this' box).


Elspeth getting more confident and moving at speed...


...and trying out her control on the ramp.


After they left, Marisca had a go on the ramp herself.


Ah, it looks like I've been foiled in my narrative - this appears to be before they left.  Either that, or they took photos of the participants and attached them, life size, to their segway storage box.  Yes, it's probably that.


And here we are on top of our little hill.
