Having watched some of the Discord regulars’ exploits over the last year, @Chimpy and I decided this year we would be a bit more adventurous in our trip planning. After doing 2 parks in a day for the first time ever last year, (Gullivers Kingdom and Valley) I cooked up a plan with @Poisson and @MattyH to get us +11 in the space of 3 days. The plan was fairly simple, a trip to Flamingo Land, with stop offs at WMSP and Drayton Manor. My brother and his family live in... Read more ..read more

So after the clear success of ‘The Finest Ale’ thread, what about ‘look what I’ve cooked’ thread. I absolutely love cooking. Mega passion of mine - fourth to golf, coasters and beer. So I’d like to see what we’re all cooking, and if any of us are actually any good. Just made these - peri peri wedges, and roasted pepper, garlic, basil and onion chicken burger. Bloody lovely. Polished off with a non beer drink for once. Captain Morgan’s and ginger wine topped to the rim with... Read more ..read more

Hi guys. After I got an 85 in my undergraduate degree dissertation earlier today, my parents revealed to me earlier that they wanted to buy me some form of gift for finishing my undergraduate degree. As there was nothing specific I wanted them to buy me, my parents then proposed taking me on a trip to one of the semi-major UK parks I haven’t visited yet, and their idea, which I thought was a good one, was to take a trip to visit the duo of parks in Norfolk/Suffolk; Pleasurewood Hills in...

Anyone here a Twenty One Pilots fan? I'm not exaggerating when I see that these boys have rescued me from some pretty dark times and I feel like I am with old friends when I listen to them. The new album Clancy, was released this week, along with it a video for every single track, which is a rare treat. The album absolutely slaps and had knocked Trench off it's pedestal for me. <iframe width="560" height="315" src=" From... Read more ..read more

After applying a few weeks back I was lucky enough to get an invite to this exciting free (!) event, and was so looking forward to it. This was only my second visit to @Paultons Park since 2017 and it was great to have an opportunity to go back after 7 years, I was excited to finally visit Tornado Springs for the first time! It was also nice to get back to the park in general as well, it is so beautiful and well-kept. The day of the event also happened to be the opening day of Splash... Read more ..read more

Planning a little trip up north to do Blackpool and Mingoland. (Just to add context I find long drives and Themepark days pretty exhausting, not one of those people who can get up at 4 am, drive 4 hrs, do a park then drive 4 hrs home!) Also trying to keep costs down! Plan is to drive up to Blackpool on Monday, stay in Blackpool Monday night. (from Wiltshire) Blackpool Tuesday. After Blackpool drive to somewhere around Leeds/Bradford to stay Tuesday night. Wednesday Mingoland. (So drive... Read more ..read more
