We started the day with a shopping trip at Gillingham town centre. The pedestrianised High Street is lined with trees, benches and familiar shops such as Costa Coffee, Game, New Look, Wilko and the Card Factory. There is also a good selection of charity shops, banks and independent retailers. There are several nearby car parks and there are lots of places to eat and drink. After shopping we visited the Riverside County Park located along side the Medway estuary. The Park is 100 hectares with lots of wildlife, cycle paths, walks, picnic areas and a fantastic children's play area. Parking is free and there is a cafe where we enjoyed a cup of coffee and a snack. The views at the park are amazing and I would definitely recommend a visit.

We were in the area after visiting relatives, so fancied,as the weather was fit for walking ,to visit Capstone Farm Country Park. Leave the M2 at Hempstead Valley, which is the local shopping centre for the area, and follow the brown signs to the car park for the country park, parking free,happy days. Walk down towards the playground, and your see a plan of the park map see below my picture,there are various trails to take and uncover, we took the green trail, which first passes the ski centre, which houses a tobaggan run and dry ski slope, see the website for more information. Passing through Drow Hill Wood, you cross and area called event field, you continue down wooded pathways and open field lan see below my pictures, before reaching Millennium Wood another wooded area before reaching the car park and the playground again. Walk down the hill, towards the fishing lake, lakeside cafeteria and toilet facilities and visitor centre. As you wander around the lake, there are plenty of seats to sit,after you walk on the various routes, see by my pictures below, before crossing the bridge back to the car park, as previously mentioned there is the Lakeside Cafeteria, we declined to visit on this occasion but it’s there if you require it. So to Summit up, Capstone may get Extremely busy at Peak times, so go visit the Country Park,go on you know you want to.

As a family we have been on the tobbogan run several times. I am really glad that they now have a booking system rather than just turn up which prevents long queues between each ride and steady flow of guests. My 7 yrs old daughter had her first ski lesson today. The ski instructor was really patient with the kids and they all looked like they were hsving a great time, my daughter cant wait to come back for her next lesson the following week. Yes the main block/reception looks abit dated, but we are here to ski not sit inside. 5 stars all round. Glad to see the venue do busy after lockdown.
