Alton Towers

With grateful thanks to my Dad, who collected tokens for free tickets (from a newspaper that I wouldn't bother reading even if I had the time!) Madi and I spent today at Alton Towers. The tickets were intended for JK and a friend, but unfortunately we had no say in the date, and the new term started yesterday- just another downside to school education. But an upside to Madi and I, as the park was not that busy and we were able to go on everything we wanted, several times over!

Mummy just couldn't stomach Submission!

Sonic Spinball was Madi's favourite ride, mine was 13

Sadly, after the Galleries of Justice and Warwick Castle Dungeons, Hex proved just too much for Little Miss No Fear, and we had to leave by the fire exit! In spite of this, and the tiring miles we must have walked, we had an amazing day and hope we can go back again next year when Madi is tall enough for Oblivion, Air and Rita.
