Highlights

  • Bright sun and heavy rain alternate every 10 minutes !
  • A long wait for breakfast at the Warsaw diner but WELL worth it.
  • A nice rest for David and Steve as Pete becomes official 'Tourist Guide'.
  • We feel that we deserve our beers on Saturday as we have done 11 miles of walking!
  • We go to Wollaton Hall for some peace and tranquility only to discover that the biggest music festival in Nottingham (Splendour) is being held that day!
  • A cheap weekend as we forgo the traditional curry for takeaway food.
  • We see the most civilised Hen Party ever. Middle aged women in a trendy pub drinking ... pots of tea !
  • We decide that is is expedient NOT to try one of the real ales at The Barley Twist as it is .. 12.5% Alcohol !
