Day out at Alton Towers courtesy of Sainsbury's. Was nice to skip all the queues paying a fortune for tickets. Queues on the rides not too bad. Got on everything I wanted to. Shame 13 was closed though. Did Nemesis and Air several times at the end of the day. Last one was last ride of the day, on the front row hehe.
Wandered through the gardens and explored the Towers. not done that in a while.
They obviously don't make enough money from the Towers themselves. They really should invest more in their restoration. Especially the chapel, where they sorted the beautiful ceiling but then just left it. There are old tables left there, displays broken and left against the wall, and bird poo everywhere. As for bothering to put up accurate signs for the way out of the Towers.. they didn't. Roof impressive though.
Took me own pack up so managed to avoid spending any money all day hehe. Couldn't even find an ordinary pencil as my souvenir in the gift shop. Searched for local geocaches while queue avoiding in the car park. Programmed the GPS for parking at one of my favourite childhood spots...
There were three caches around the lake. Been there lots of times. First time I've actually gone round the lake.
Path blocked by Killer Geese and Crazy Swans...
And yeah, I'm still scared of the monster..
