Had a fantastic time back at Xscape Now! Their latest game, Sweeney Todd, is a shining example of excellent Room design! A great variety of interesting and enjoyable puzzles, twisting narrative and surprising reveals and some lovely build quality with both decor and props. All presented by two wonderful hosts with a real and heartfelt desire to provide a brilliant experience! If you're in the area (or even if you're not) this is well worth a visit! Well done you guys, can't wait to see what you cook up next. Hope it's not more meat pies...!

I went up, down and around the Wrekin. It was half term and the on road parking was pretty much gone before 10am although the car park had lots of space. I kept to the main path to the summit. It was on this path I saw most people. At the trig point at the top most people seemed to turn around and descend the same way. I went over the top to pick up a permitted path and return to the car park along the side of the hill. The path down is steep be aware. The permitted path through the woods is lovely and apart from a couple of cyclists (these are not permitted ????) who thought I should have gotten out of their way, it was a wholly enjoyable experience. It was about 4 miles and just over 2 hours
