We spent most of the day wandering around and just taking pictures so I'm afraid they're not going to be in any particular order just as I took them. I have put a brief explanation under each one. The weather was perfect and the turnout was excellent. I reckon they could do a two-day show if they wanted but maybe that is too great a demand on peoples time.. Anyway folks I hope you get some idea...
I am writing this out of sync, so today Friday 8th August 2025 I am writing an in-depth report about Wetherspoons where we stayed over three nights. You can look up the history of this hotel and pub chain but basically I hold them in the highest regard for a number of reasons.

The property can be seen here. The price was reasonable so I forked out for two nights for £110 and ‘signed on the dotted line’. I would have easily spent this per night in Plymouth town itself which has two problems. The...
