title	A Trip to Alton Towers, Staffordshire - 19th June 2004
intro	It's Gov's birthday, so he arranges a trip to Alton Towers in Staffordshire to celebrate. On the way, the A14 is hosed so we have to divert through Kettering, then on the way back we stop off in Cambridge for a curry at the Maharaja on Castle Street. Whilst at Alton Towers, we have a wander around the grounds, which were more or less the only thing there when Nosher was a more regular visitor in the 1970s. They are still mostly well maintained but sadly now more deserted. It's the same with the house, which is derelict but mostly explorable, but most people pass it by in favour of the more visceral rollercoasters.
