Ooo.. always wanted to go to Alderley Edge but not take the family - they wouldn't understand.

In Wales, I was lucky in that we had a minibus, a car and 3 drivers. The shopping people went shopping in the minibus, the walkers in the car to their various pursuits and all met up in the evening. Of the two groups, those who had spent the day clambering over rocks, sliding down stream beds and going 'wow' at the amazing scenery, were far less footsore and bedraggled than those who had fought their way through air conditioned shops and tiled floors going 'wow' at the prices of stuff you could get in the local market!

If I ever get the chance, I'd like to go back and see Tal y Llyn without the veil of rain or the 8 other people in the back of the bus whinging about why we'd stopped.
