Staying on John & Laura’s driveway. Kev and the boys went on John Billet’s stag night. No arrests were made and they all made it home in one piece. A good night was had by all with John having to do some forfeits including standing on his head after 7 pints of cider and numerous rum & cokes. The only casualty the next day was John. Mission accomplished.
After 2 nights on the driveway we moved on to Chatsworth. If you have not yet been to Chatsworth House it is well worth a visit, it took about 2 hours for the house tour and at least another 2 hours round the gardens.
Tootled around the Peak District for a few days then back to Donington Park for the wedding. The Bride & Groom looked fantastic in period dress in keeping with the style of the ceremony venue, Keddleston Hall. The Reception was a really good night. We made a lot of new friends whilst staying at John & Laura’s which we hope to meet up with on our travels.
Moved on to Wales and stayed at Chirk. Cycled along the canal tow path from Chirk to Llangollen passing though a 421 metre tunnel in pitch darkness and going across an aqueduct , a 17 mile round trip. I managed the trip without the aid of extra oxygen. We also walked to nearby Chirk Castle which is also well worth a look. We are now at Coed-y-Llwyn and are going to Portmeirion Gardens today.
