A relaxing, fun weekend with team members and their family members.

Plenty of space for walks, swims, kayaking, relaxing, reading, eating, games.

If you can only do part of the weekend thats cool.

The team has a selection of tents and cooking equipment, I would think that we will cook and eat as a group, possibly a brunch and main meal.

More details to follow.
