Geoff writes: yet another windy day. OK for hang gliders a the Long Mynd, but not paragliders, unless you arrived very early in the morning, as some people apparently did. Rather than me fly my hang glider, we decided to have a day off, and went first to do some archery shooting, then to visit a National Trust house, Dudmaston Hall. This was really nice, with a few rooms of the house open – but most of them not – and some lovely grounds to walk in. It’s famous for its art collections, including some modern art (something we are less than excited about). It’s now owned by the National Trust, but the family still lives there, apparently.

There was also a demonstration of what happens when you combine coke and Mentos mints. The guy demonstrating it gave out instructions to all the kids there – which I’m sure will really please their parents when they try it in the living room.

You can also see a nice video (but crap music) of some guys that really took this seriously!

See photos of today.
