Mrs T and I joined The National Trust yesterday! Gosh, we are getting old... Mainly because we wanted something to do on Sunday, and it was either Warwick Castle or Waddesdon Manor. Waddesdon won out, but at £34 to go in for the both of us, it seemed better value to join the NT at £55 for the year, so we got a "bargain"  It was nice enough, but got absolutely fucking drenched walking back to the car!

MrsA and I have been members for a while now. We often go to Waddesdon for a walk about the grounds, and have a look at the aviary, before having a cup of tea. Claydon is also very nice place to look around. And Stowe Landscape Gardens remains on of my favorite places on this earth. Jeez, makes us sound really old, doesn't it? |

Counterpart found! I can relax again now, and await the arrival of my £50 of cardboard boxes which I'm still bitter about. Old Man Afterthough has somehow assembledhis bike (A Dawes Discover 201, with mudguards and stuff) and he is quite happy with that. And I ordered this yesterday as I don't have sufficient yellow clothes. |

Ta, we'll probably pop along to those two at some point, and certainly head back to Waddesdon to have a wander round the grounds. It was a little bit wet for doing that yesterday As a kid we had the family membership to both NT and EH, and our holidays consisted of holiday camps and visiting castles and properties. I always though EH was much better, as they have loads of ruined castles NT is all fuddy-duddy houses and gardens, which were no good to a 10yr old.

This place is a 20 minute walk from my house. I've taken some great pictures there, such as...  Speke Hall - 10th April 2011 by MrDavPaz, on Flickr and it has a short walk which gives you a grand view of the runway at Liverpool Airport (I must go back with a better camera)  Liverpool Airport by MrDavPaz, on Flickr and best of all, beacuse we live nearby, it's free.

Depend what you want to do with them, to be honest. I'd say any bike that can do what you want it to do is good enough, some just do it with less mass than others. Take a squizz around the car park on one, and if it feels OK, go for it. Or, as I've said before, eBay. There is a school of thought that says "if it doesn't cost more than £300, it's shit" but then MBUK took a £299 bike down Cap d'Ail downhill course and nothing broke and the person didn't crash, so y'know, there's moral to that story somewhere. I've got enough frames and bits in the garage (except forks) to build up a bike for you and Trooper to fight over, but I don't have the time right now, so sorry about that. |
