Tatton park is free to anyone not in a vehicle; walkers, cyclists (buy yourself a bike), balloonists, rocketmen, ...
Cars are charged at about £3 - so squeeze 140 people in your car and you have a genuine bargain on your hands; actually it might be good value for 2 people (I don't care - I cycle there and spend £3 on satsumas, bananas and anti pasta).
Lots of fresh air (actually that was transparent), grass, trees, a lake, sailing boats, fewer ducks than you might expect. I heard the wind and birds, and the sound of my wheels on the road; and myself talking to myself (but without moving my lips).
Hooray - saw no dogs - but on the way there, a dog with it's head out of a car window barked in my ear (on the bright side, my ear is still there).
You can use these photos if you either; (a) mention our name when you use the photo, or (b) pay us 1 Billion dollars.
All pictures taken on a hot day, in the month of May, 2004. Cost of day out was 0 pence; if you don't count the satsumas (I was on my bike and got sunburnt on my forearms, conk, noggin and cheeks; because I was squinting at the bright light).

If I put my camera on a giant pole the road wouldn't look so wide. But there were no giant poles to hand at the time. | Jurassic Park |
Very bright sun - that's why I got burnt |
The beauty of cycling is what you see on the way is often as good as what you're travelling to see - and you can stop and enjoy it.
