Well, we actually drove through about 20 counties, but these three were the only ones with CREDS.

So, it was me, Ben, Vadge and Stone Cold, crammed into my dads fiesta with tents and stuff (for the one night that we were staying in Helston, near Flambards. Well, Ben messed up and got us a campsite in the middle of nowhere, but we ended up going to an amazing pub nearby (actually I won't even go there haha).


Right, Ben and I left Rugby at about 8pm on the friday night after watching Harry Potter, and arrived at Dickie's place about 10, then continued our way to Brighton to collect Vadge/sleep over.


Me and Dickie in the front, heading for some tunnels just after we left Brighton:

May I add these are all Ben's pics, hense why I didn't even know about this one:

First credit stop, 3 hours after leaving Brighton, was a country park in Weymouth with a slide and a credit (oh, and a sea life centre :S). The park was called 'leisure ranch':

Vadge was a GOON and sat at the front. Oh, and please take note of the FIT ride op <3.

They spared no expense with the scenery and landscaping:

5932_126916562844_655017844_3207585_1462530_n.jpg



I was horrified when I already had the cred, but it kept doing more and more circuits...

5932_126916597844_655017844_3207591_53543_n.jpg



We rode the slide too, which was fun. Vadge took pics of this, so perhaps she'll post them at some point in her life *cough*.


Pee stop was next, followed by a 2 or so hour drive to Exeter, which is home to Crealy Park!

We all tried out the zipwire, and all failed by scraping the floor :(

DEATH SLIDE!

Oh dickie, dickie dickie dickie...

Thats all the photos Ben has from Crealy, but I think dickie and vadge might have taken some too... there was a cred I promise! haha.

Crealy was really cute, with loads and loads of silly fun things to do. The log flume was actually HUGE too!


We then headed to Teignmouth pier (which was only half an hour down the road), to attempt the Go-Gator credit.


Us: Hey staff member, can we ride the Go-Gator
Guy: Uh... yeah... if it's working.
Guy (whilst waxing and cleaning the track):Hmm, its gonna be heavy, might break.
Us: Oh :(
Guy: Go on, all of you get on!

5932_126916862844_655017844_3207635_6655993_n.jpg


YAY!


5932_126916872844_655017844_3207637_5480756_n.jpg



We had to sit at 90 degree angles, and it was still a squeeze!


Vadge got stuck:

5932_126916877844_655017844_3207638_7957678_n.jpg



They had a FAB arcade, with loads and loads of ghetto 2p machines <3.

5932_126916902844_655017844_3207642_220769_n.jpg



This was the last credit of the day, and we still had like, 3 hours or something untill we got to our campsite in Cornwall, where we drank, drank some more, ate some food and didn't have any laughing gas atall :P

Life with Jake is life in the fast lane.

The kids made these paper water bombs thing, whilst asking 'are we there yet' every 10 seconds.

Thats it for Saturday. I'll post sunday (Flambards and Milky way) later.

Oh, is the trip you invited me on that I'd said I'd like to do but never heard anything back, despite reminding Vadge about it when I saw her last. :( Thanks.
 
Haha, the Beaver hire <3 What a fab trip!

And you all know you secretly loved the amazing campsite! With the Burger Van/Reception <3

Crealy was amazing <3 I should have taken more pictures though... I was having too much fun for a camera!
 
Sunday's first stop was Flambards, which was about 10 miles from the camp site (we stopped off at Tesco on the way for a hangover-cure-breakfast.


They had some spew rides:

5932_126916967844_655017844_3207652_2493537_n.jpg



A Log Flume, which was shut:

5932_126916992844_655017844_3207656_4465140_n.jpg



... and of course, the credit, Hornet, which was OK...

5932_126916997844_655017844_3207657_2181579_n.jpg



... even if it does have the most pathetic 'record' ever!



They also had one of those 'science' exploration things, with a shadow room and a mirror room:

lol

Silly shaped letter 'R' that looks like an A.

5932_126917037844_655017844_3207664_236651_n.jpg



We concluded that Flambards was a dump, and left for the 2 hour drive to the Milky Way...



The kids annoyed daddy by flicking popcorn at him from the back:

5932_126917047844_655017844_3207666_5461130_n.jpg



When we got to the Milky Way, nic wanted a photo with the 'SLOW people' sign;

5932_126917052844_655017844_3207667_3589755_n.jpg



The weather was being a bit dodgy, so we ran straight to the outdoor section to get the two coasters out there, which I can't find photos of on here. Did you or dickie get any nic?


However, Ben's a cattlepen enthusiast so took a picture of Clone Zone's excessive one:

5932_126917062844_655017844_3207669_2922218_n.jpg



Clone Zone had an awsome walk through bit before the ride started, where we got beamed into this trippy world of neon colours and aliens. It was on a budget, but the way they went about spending the budget resulted in a better experience than anything at Thorpe. Well done Milky Way!!!


In the shop:

5932_126917077844_655017844_3207671_7942428_n.jpg



The highlight was the play area, complete with giant ball pits and slides! Adults were allowed in too <3.


5932_126917092844_655017844_3207674_1225409_n.jpg



They had a slide into a ballpit, which dickie did a POV of *cough*.


The vertical slide was fab:

Ben looks like Deidrie from corrie here:

5932_126917202844_655017844_3207692_4376067_n.jpg



That was it for Milky Way, and we headed back to Brighton to drop nic off, and got back home at 2am, SHATTERED.


Oh yeah, we drove past Stonehenge too:

Thanks for reading, and hopefully i'll get some stuff off Nic/Dickie to add later on.

Although they don't interest you guys, did you get any video footage of Vadge's boobs wobbling on the car journeys?

I'll have you know there was no flicking involved, that was all careful placing, flicking would be far too obvious :wink:

And I concur the Dick and Vadge should add their media! xD
 
Oh, and I was bored, so I looked up "Pastil" in my Spanish dictionary, and the coaster at Crealy does translate to "The Crazy Pastel" (the retarded way of spelling Fruit Pastilles), but, only if it's "Pastel". So, I assume the "I" is to make it more like Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles, but, Spanish.

That puts that very, very, very exciting conversation we had on the name to rest :P
 
I started making my video! It's going to be excruciatingly dull, badly made, and contain NO footage of coasters, WHATSOEVER! Oops.

I've made a start, and now I'm bored... so you could be waiting quite a while before I'm finished. Not Slade long, but at least untill the weekend
 
lets try again...
