This was the trip that nearly didn't happen. We were booked in for two nights at YHA Chester Trafford from Friday 10th but I had a bad night on the Thursday and was off sick on the Friday. By the evening I still wasn't feeling well enough to drive so I rang the hosteland said something had come up and we'd check in early on Saturday morning.
We got up early on Saturday and I just about felt well enough to go. I was very relieved when we pulled into the drive at the hostel. The girl at the desk couldn't have been more helpful and took me to our chalet-style dorm. We were just in time to claim our booked breakfasts which were served without any complaint.
We then drove into Chester and parked up. The weather was very unpromising but we did the wall circuit making full use of any sheltering opportunities.
After we'd finished the wall circuit, we went looking round a couple of record shops before Simon decided on his purchase ( Portishead . We then went looking for lunch. Simon decided on a cafe with an open terrace looking onto the main shopping street. It had heaters but they weren't very effective. After lunch we had a look round the Cathedral.
I was pretty shattered by this point so we returned to the hostel where I crashed out for a couple of hours.
When it turned 5, we went to the games room where we played a few games of pool.
After that , we went to a nearby Toby Carvery for tea. When we got back we went in the lounge for a bit but there was hardly anyone else staying there. An older couple checked in late that evening but we didn't speak to them until breakfast the next morning.
Fortunately the weather was much improved on the Sunday and we were able to film at Beeston Castle.
After that we drove into Warrington for something to eat at KFC. Then we went home.
