Toms View of the World

…with some ups and downs along the way

Well, it’s been an interesting week or so. Driving the best part of 900 miles in 5 days, visiting 5 themeparks, 1 snow-dome, and spending time with some friends. Overall it was a good week, although there were a few moments when things didn’t go quite to plan, and the strain of the journey took it’s toll… But anyway, on to the trip reports… (more…)

Trip is going well. Will probably write reports next week (and post some photos) but I expect james will beat me too it, so head over to http://www.jamezsa.co.uk/blog for more…

James doing some post tobogganing blogging…,

For a ‘warm up’ to a 5 day tour of some UK theme parks. James and I started with a session tobogganing at the Tamworth Snowdome.

This was a lot of fun. if utterly exhausting. Toboggans were almost impossible to control, and I ended up face down in the snow on more than one occasion. Highly recommended if you’re in Tamworth.

Yesterday saw a very pleasant weekend day, and as John had come down to Cardiff, it was a perfect day to enjoy the “Big Weekend” celebrations, the centrepiece of which was a fairly large travelling fair…

I also took the opportunity to spend some time showing him around the city - it’s amazing that despite living here, I’ve never visited a lot of the local “attractions”!
