Head up towards wrexham then take the ruthin road and headup to worlds end lovely little road and it runs all the way to langollan.

Bush Tucker Man:
We got a bit lost on the way there :oops:
We, & our passenger, had conflicting print-outs, me from AA site & Karen from RAC.
So on the leaving the M56 at jct 10 & heading towards Tarporley, the instructions were 'at odds' with each other.
Still we found it, after 2 3/4hours (including a stop-over at Birch Services (M62 between jcts 19 & 18)

Some nice villages along the A49, with plenty of thatched roofs, no boats came along, so I didn't get the opportunity to stop at that swing-bridge at Acton Bridge :cry:

Damn long drive from the main gates up to the hotel, must've been 3/4mile (arrived at 11:30)

So parked the car by reception & 'Bell-Boys' came out for the luggage (never had that happen before)

SWMBO & Karen shot off to their first Spa treatment, I was left mulling around as my first 'jolly' wasn't until 14:00 (room keys not allocated until 14:00, so couldn't even go there)
Had a saunter around, shook my head at all the people hitting little white balls with sticks.
Found the Activity centre, with a '55' plated 110CSW parked outside.
Mmmm :? , could I swap one of my planned activities for a play in a 110?


So ever so sadly I gave up archery for a drive on a (alledgedly) LR factory designed course in the Td5.
It wasn't too extreme, certainly not a Challenge location, but enough to as we were told scare a lot of people.
Unfortunately the instructor was adamanant on low-1st use only :?
It felt completely alien to be screaming up slopes.I went for a gear-change & got an "Oi!!"
I must admit given how slippery it was (& the axle-travel involved) how well the standard Grabber tyres, & in places no diff-lock, performed.


Then it was off in a mini-coach for a 25minute drive to where we were Clay-Pigeoning
Quite surprisingly we (only 3 of us) got 2 boxes of 25 cartidges each  :shock:  & a 12bore
It was the first time I'd ever used any form of gun & I was ............................
hopeless :lol:
I think I hit about 10 of the 50, still it was an experience

Dinner was okay, but a bit 'fancy', all these 'drizzles' & 'Jus' on the menu.

Breakfast this morning was better.
Help yourself & go back if you want  :D


On the way back along the A49 we passed absolutely loads of classics, ranging from Austin Maxis, E-Types to Mustangs. there was certainly something happening in that part of Chester
There were also a load of MG's parked at a pub at Hampton Heath

Oh, 1 & 3/4hours home door-to-door
(A49, A556, M6 & M62)
