Like a trip back in time

Last week was my friend Gabe's birthday (see that you lanky fuck, that's what a blog link looks like!). When given a range of choices as to what to do, Gabe decided he wanted to go to Oakwood. For those of you who don't know, oakwook is an amusement park in West Wales.

Now, I had been to Oakwood before but this was years before I started shaving and in all honesty, the place was a bit light on amusement back then. It had a rollercoaster, a pirate ship and a crazy waterslide thing. Porthcawl was more fun, and had the added excitement of possible death, so I never really understood the appeal.

So skip forward to last week, and Gabe's all excited about the place, and as we head over there it transpires that the management at Oakwood had at some point read my mind and implemented an upgrade plan that included not only a lot more rides, but also, a lot more death. Good for them!

So there you go, we got there and it was a drizzly grey day. Which meant that the park was as deserted as the set to 28 days later. So we had a day of no queuing, and lots of rollercoasting.

Happy birthday Gabe.
