I'm actually gutted I missed this! (Thanks work...) How the hell did all these events occur exactly?!
Great TR though. I had no idea the goose fair was that big! Hopefully I'll make it next year!

So after about three hours sleep and some hilarious piecing together of the previous nights events we set off for Cleethorpes!
This is probably one of the last "bigger" parks in the UK that none of us had visited. I thought the park was quite nice, though a bit tired in places. The place was totally dead though, I can see why this park had all those problems earlier in the year.
Oh yeah, we whored up some delightful places afterwards too...

Not quite Oktoberfest, but a nice TR, & I'm pleased to see you guys adding beer to the equation!
As the UK goes, I guess its about as close as we'll get! lol
Was quite a good variety of rides at Goose Fair 2010, although there's always too many duplicates, 8 x dodgems this year! lol
The UK hosts a few decent fairs of this size, Newcastle takes place in summer, but Hull Fair & Goose Fair are both early October if you're thinking of coming from overseas...
Hull is a larger fair, but doesn't necessarily have a better selection of rides!
Pics from Nottingham 2010:
And a video of this years' fair.
