Derbyshire and then Alton Towers

We have spent a couple of days in the county of Derbyshire, staying just outside Derby, lovely site by the river.

Alton Towers

Yesterday we arrived outside of Stoke on Trent for todays visit to Alton Towers, revisiting our youth! we probably should have left it as a nice memory because we are absolutely shattered after a day walking around the park and going on all the rides. Why do they feel so violent now? felt like we had been beaten up after each one 🙂

Seeing the corkscrew on display as a reminder of what used to be there and the ride that we remember is funny.

We managed to get through the day, spent far too much money but it was a one off treat!!!. Now sat back in the van nursing our egos and hoping theres no bruises in the morning.

We are off to Shrewsbury on Saturday to visit Sharon & Mike, looking forward to seeing them.
