We have had quite an interesting day today. We had a Bears Unlimited staff conference at Fakenham Racecourse. Now we know that Bear www.wheresbear.co.uk has sent a number of pictures in from Cheltenham Racecourse recently, and we were also there ourselves last month for the Greenbelt Arts festival, so we thought it would be interesting to take a picture or two to compare the difference.
Well, what can we say? Fakenham racecourse is tiny compared with Cheltenham; it’s basically bear-sized rather than human sized. They do quite a pleasant buffet lunch though and we especially enjoyed the bear-sized mini donuts, éclairs and strawberry and cream scones. Our only disappointment was that when we got to our afternoon tea break we found that all the leftovers from lunch had been cleared away so we couldn’t finish them off. I’m afraid Bear that there weren’t any nutella sandwiches though.
We were also a bit disappointed that there wasn’t any racing today as we were looking forward to saying hi to the horses and possibly winning a pound or two. The only activity that was happening was humans playing golf in the centre of the racecourse, which we thought was quite a novel concept.
Anyway, since there wasn’t any racing Yorkie, our friend Chelmer and I were able to wander onto the course and test out one or two of the jumps. It made us realise how much longer horses’ legs are than ours!

Gosh bears, you have been busy explorers! Those jumps are huge! Did you fancy borrowing a horse and having a ride or are you sticking to water sports?
