We decided to have a January blues-busting trip out, and our "pin in a map" approach landed us in Bristol for the weekend. Given we were only there for about 30 hours, we packed a lot in!
A boat tour; headed to a lovely restaurant which had been recommended by colleagues (Root) for lunch; visited M Shed, a museum about Bristol right on the dockside, including seeing the book made from the skin of a prisoner sentenced to death!; briefly helped / hindered a wedding photo shoot on the Christmas Steps; drinking Belgian beers and playing Yahtzee in the Strawberry Thief (and felt the effects of those beers in the morning...); met up with a colleague and his family to play some ice-free curling.
On the Sunday morning, we headed out to an industrial estate to a experience called "Wake the Tiger." It was absolutely bonkers, and my son and I loved it. It's described as a "labyrinth of exploration which begins in an abandoned paint factory before journeying into the Dream Factory, and finally transcending to the OUTERverse." It's not the sort of thing that you can really describe well, but it was fantastic, and I can definitely recommend it!
