    I passed thru Cheddar Gorge just a few weeks ago.
    The idea was to have a quick (1-2hrs) look around the caves, then continue our journey.

    Firstly, parking is a nightmare.... but if you get there about 9.00am the carpark is unmanned and you're home & dry (also no provision for tickets or clamps).

    Secondly, it's now a "full" ticket that they sell, which is really a full 4-6hr tour of the caves, Jacob's Ladder, and the clifftop walk. No provision to just pay for the caves.

    So we had breakfast there gave the caves a miss, and drove to Stonehenge.


    Re: Butlins....
    every summer/Xmas season I worked there in my school/student years.
    Worked in the Entertainments Dept (not a Redcoat !) as a stagehand, rigger, lighting technician, stage manager (of Pig & Whistle Bar .... does this still exist in Minehead ?), and part time film projectionist.

    I think I had more disposable income then than now !
    .... and a new influx of female campers would arrive every week.
    Heaven.

    mmmmm where did it all go wrong ?
    No man is an island, but Barry is

    There is no more PIG and Whistle bar now there. REDS, Inn on the green and Centre Stage are the most places we hang out at night. Redcoats are nice, very energetic!
