As Gareth passed his driving test last week, he wanted to get some experience on the motorway. We also thought it would be nice to use it as an excuse to spend a day out together (our last date bar a meal last week was 6 months ago at our own wedding!). So, we headed for Cribbs Causeway as that is just off the motorway and easy to find. Gareth handled the motorway fantastically, and we only made one stop (incidentally, Little Chef's 'Famous Pancakes' are probably famous for their overpricing - two thin pretty ordinary looking pancakes drowned in a syruppy mess for £3.99!)
We arrived at Cribb's Causeway (Mall) in good time and meandered around a bit. Those that know us probably know that we are not exactly reknowned for our love of shopping. So after grabbing some lunch we picked somewhere more up our street to go to - Cheddar Gorge!
The drive there was a little convoluted but well signposted.
Instead of exploring the caves for a cost of £16 each, yes EACH! We decided to do the three mile trek above ground around the caves. this still cost £4.50 each, but this was for a season pass.
It was a really nice walk, and quite gruelling in places as it was mostly uphill. Unfortunately I don't have any photo's as this was a rather spontaneous trip, and I didn't see the point in bringing the camera to a Mall!
Cheddar Gorge is also home to some wild goats which frankly didn't look too unlike domestic goats, if a little more scraggy and stocky!
