Very well thanks mate! By the by we were in Bourton on the water last weekend and it was pure bliss! You are so lucky! Not sure of the spelling but the Cotswolds are lovely!
Hello chap, It is crazy busy down here atm but at least local business is making the most of it. Cambridge has a lot going for it though. Near enough to east Anglia and the football but far enough away from all the insular types. You are always welcome on this board and make good input on it. You have a bet on promotion?
This is the price you pay for living in such a beautiful part of the world, you lucky bugger! I do love rural Oxfordshire, the Malverns and Cirencester etc. Simply idyllic especially at this time of the year. As for a bet on promotion tbh I'm really not sure how well we will do next season, top 6 if we are lucky!
You ever been to Blenheim palace? Fantastic place with lovely grounds and historic buildings. Well worth taking the family and a picnic. Gaydon motor museums and Coventry transport museum(free) are great days out. Cov museum has the thrust jet car and simulator. All these things make Britain great.
It is worth getting national trust membership but I cancelled mine after a couple of years because I had visited all the good properies. Anglesey abbey near Newmarket is one of the better ones. English heritage properties tend to be just ruins so aren't as interesting Plenty to see if you look for it.
Join the New Zealand NT it's about £40 for a family ticket and it gets you into both National trust and English Heritage sites.
If i ever go down to cornwall on holiday, i always get a national trust membership as most of the beach car parks are national trust and members park for free. normally for 1 week it works out about even, but then you still use it for around this area like sheringham park or dulwich heath.
Yeah parking at Sheringham park is extortionate otherwise. Although little known tip the NT byelaws regarding fining drivers haven't been updated since the Trust's inception which if I remember correctly means the max "penalty" they can dish out is a fiver, which is often the same or less than the parking fee, but I didn't tell you that Personally the fees are worth it just for the car parks
Not if you park in the layby and don't mind a 5 minute walk, or a 10 minute walk if you park near the chucrch and walk 10 mins up Lodge Hill
Personally as someone who lives in one of these areas nothing drives me more nuts than people who don't use car parks and clutter up residential areas to be honest. If more people did that Upper Sheringham would be a mare. Fair enough for a few locals but i'd not want to see more people doing that. and as for the 5 mins walk for me that would be the walk and then i'd have to stop
There isn't that much room on the roads at uppertown anyway Rich. It's a bloody nightmare meeting a coach or bus on that road. I'm actually summoning up the courage and energy to actually walk around the park and climb that gazebo when I go home in August. Might have to pop into Royboys for a breakfast special before starting out
Yeah I know mate that's why I use the car park hehehehehe Don't start me on Royboys when I was working on the pitch n putt I was always in there scoffing down a large baguette
Hey Guru, not brought any of the lapdogs along with you ? Maybe they are too busy mending the punctures in their WAGS?
