Fartpipe!

Sorry, wrong thread

I went there as a kid. The logo was brilliant - inspired by Picasso. I’ve seen it on t-shirts in recent years. Must get one

My dad used to always take us there. Saw a car the other day with one of their car stickers on and thought, that brings back some memories.

I remember it, I was reading the article this morning and it brought memories back. Used to live spotting cars with the sticker in the window too. Although that wasn’t difficult in south wales. Lol

Folly farm a popular school trip.

Problem is all the risk assessments involved in school trips.

Penscynor was by my school

We had summer passes and would go there every day in the holidays with my cousin and sister

I was obsessed with the farm part and the reptile house. And they had the best Blueberry Muffins in the Copper Kettle Coffee Shop. Amazing place miss it loads, my kids would have loved it when they were younger like

Wow loved visiting there as a kid

Never actually realised where they were though. as a kid you just get in the car no idea what direction you went.

Had a few parties at the cowboy place.

One of my favourite pictures is me and my brother dressed as cowboys there for a party.

So many good memories flooding back right now

You can indeed and could probably have some fun in the chimp house or penguin pool
