Stagtime Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 A couple of great days in Derby so far, PP for the pre season game yesterday followed by dinner at The Bluebell in Kirk Langley. Today’s been a bit of a pub crawl starting with lunch at The Bullshead in Repton, moved onto Nadee in Findern and finishing up at The Masons Arms in Mickleover. ariotofmyown, Comrade 86, Mucker1884 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually drop into the club shop every time we're here but unfortunately nothing left in my size this trip. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagtime Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Road trip day, over to the dark side of the M1 up to Matlock and across to Ashbourne for afternoon smoko. Leave Derby tomorrow so we'll take our Qld weather with us. Miggins, Comrade 86 and angieram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, thinking we might go to Chester for 3 nights, then maybe 3 nights in the Wye River area. We’ve got 9 nights spare before the hire car has to be back in Southhampton ketteringram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good time because of the administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One good thing is since Fanatics took it over, the postage price to Oz is reasonable. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagtime Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 I think we’ve found our new favourite town in the Uk. Decided to stay in Chester for 4 days before we head back to Derby but unfortunately all the studio apartments were booked so we have to make do with the Ascot penthouse apartment overlooking the racecourse ??♂️ Spent a day at Llandudno at the beach. our room and the view over the racetrack.

Mucker1884 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Chester was a big favourite of ours a while back. Not been for a while, (We really ought!). Llandudno is a big favourite of ours. At least twice a year we'll spend a couple of (extended) camping weekends over in Dwygyfylchi, and cycle along the coast around Conwy & into Llandudno. Great camping, an enjoyable 10m each way coastal cycle ride, Conwy Marina, Bay & Castle, and topped off with arguably our current favourite UK seaside resort. Often intertwined with locking the bikes up, and taking a stroll to the top of Great Orme, to blow the cobwebs away! Smashing! ?

Stagtime Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 After another few days back in Derby it’s time to start heading south. I’ve found out more about my family roots in the last 2 days than I have in the last 15 years. It’s been humbling the way relatives and complete strangers have treated us especially Saturday night in Micklover. And it looks like I have scored a couple more season ticket holders for the club after taking them along to the game and then hitting the town afterwards. Enjoy your Saturday arvo games! Pride Park Saturday, luckily I had a 14 year old interpreter telling me what Leicester were singing. Sunday lunchtime drinks in Shardlow, where my father was born. richinspain, Steve How Hard?, ariotofmyown and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagtime Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Monmouth South Wales, the Forest of Dean and Symond Yat the last few days, another lovely part of the country.
