The entries in the log book Mr. Park said were in his own hand, completed at the time of his sailing course in 1976. He was referred to the entries marked Summer 1958 and 1970, and he agreed and you can look at them at your own leisure, that this reflected a lot of sailing on Coniston. He said that on the lake he had just sailed up and down it. He had not gone on picnics on the shores. He agreed with Mr. Webster's suggestion of course that he would have to tack across the shores, to the shores if the winds were adverse, but he said he had not previously visited the spot where Carol's body had been found, although he accepted that that site was directly opposite or almost directly opposite where the family had the caravan in his childhood. He said he did not know Bailiffs Wood, and the view across the lake was simply a featureless expanse of water.
Well, that is I think the sailing. I think that is the evidence we have up to the period of Carol Park's disappearance. There may be other bits which you remember, but those are the salient points that I noted from my own notes.
Well, let us turn to Carol Park and her relationship with the defendant. As we heard, the marriage would seem to be happy at first as far as her own family was concerned, and Mr. Park tells you that. We have the birth of the children in 1970 and 1971. Carol was working as a teacher. We heard from a Mrs. Isobelle Weaver, who you may remember, was a colleague between 1967 at the time of Carol's marriage and until 1973. She told you that Carol was a committed teacher who did more than the simple nine to five job. She was musical, she played the piano. Mrs. Weaver told us that Carol was very proud of her new baby Jeremy, who she brought to a school sports day when perhaps she was on maternity leave or something like that. She was described as a good teacher by Mr. Moffatt, her colleague of a bit later, but it is obvious as we all know, that the relationship with Mr. Park gradually declined. Mrs. Farmer told us of becoming aware of the strains in the relationship when she was there on her last visit in 1973 or 1974, although she thought that perhaps at that stage the fact that the children had all been ill might have played a bit of a part in it.
