Highlights

  • Despite the high spring temperature, Steve decides that it is still best to wear a scarf inside the pub
  • We have some fun watching a strange game of Canoe Water Polo
  • The Avon Gorge hotel is so overwhelmed by the complexity of Pete’s order (3 coffees and a tea) that they have to send out for consultants to process it and order special cows (this therefore explains the 45 minute delay)
  • The Camera Obscura – excellent !
  • The Giants Cave – a great view over the Avon Gorge
  • Despite not being sure of the name or exact location of the Seven Stars real ale pub, a combination of David’s vague location and Nigel’s eagle eyes – we manage to find it
  • Quotes

    David (to Pete) : “So... when are you 50 then ?”
    Pete : “In 9 days time”
    Steve : “So.. what’s it feel like to be 50 ?”
    Pete: “Err.. don’t know.. I am only 49 !”

    Nigel: “This friend of mine is making £1000 per day in feed in tariff”
    Steve : “Fantastic !! – So whats’ that in volumetric energy levels per unit widget ?”

    David : “I know this good Bangladeshi restaurant” (it is actually Indian!)

    Steve (to the guide in the Clifton Suspension Bridge visitor centre) : “So...why is this bridge here then ?”

    Steve (to the barman in the Avon Gorge Hotel) : “So..any chance of our coffees being delivered before we leave tomorrow ?”

    Pete: “I am really disappointed that we have never had a lad’s weekend trip to Blackpool” (ok – might have made that one up )

    Steve : “This Google Maps is really clever – apparently.. Scarborough is in Yorkshire”
