I tend to complain a lot about my residence, Broadgate Park (my room is too small for what it costs, there's no common area in the flat other than the kitchen, that kitchen is way too tiny for 7 people, etc.), but it does have its good things. Among them are the free activities they organise, like a spectacular buffet meal for the Chinese New Year, the Thursday salsa classes and, a few Sundays ago, a ride through Sherwood Forest.
En el minibus, yendo hacia allí.
On the minibus, on our way there.
Justo antes de subirnos a nuestros caballos. Y esto es un poco embarazoso... ven los números en los cascos? Son el talle. La mayor parte de las chicas usaron talle 1, pero yo se ve que soy bien cabezona, y tuve que usar talle 3. Me consuelo pensando que es porque mi gran cerebro ocupa tanto lugar *g*
Right before we got on our horses. And this is a bit embarrassing... see the numbers on the helmets? They're the size. Most of the other girls used a 1, but it seems I'm a bit big-headed, and I had to use a size 3. My consolation is thinking it was just because my huge brain takes up so much space *g*
Ya en mi caballo, bah, yegua:Heidi.
Already on my horse, or rather, mare: Heidi.
Entrando al bosque.
Riding into the forest.
Durante la mayor parte de la cabalgata, que duró como 1 hora, el bosque estaba bastante ralo.
During most of the ride, which went on for about an hour, the forest was pretty sparse.
Pero en otras áreas todavía está espeso.
But in other areas it's still quite dense.
Volviendo a los establos, que quedan bien al borde del bosque.
Returning to the stables, which are right on the edge of the forest.
Y listos para subirnos de vuelta al minibus.
And ready to get back on the minibus.
