This is the day after Ultimate Events and I’m still feeling the effects of it by having a sore throat and feeling dazed so this is going to be a shortie.

I had to wake up so early at around 5:30am to be able to get up and travel to the meeting point where the mini bus will arrive to pick everybody up. The people I was travelling with mainly was from a baptist youth group thingy and therefore didn’t know many of them. It was okay though as everybody got on.

Live music at UE

We managed to arrive at Alton Towers at a better time than last year due to setting off earlier. The rides that I managed to get on was Air, Nemesis, Congo River Rapids, and the boat River Bank Eye Spy ride which was strangely enjoyable but mainly cause we nearly tipped the boat over with some good farm noises. This was good that I managed this many as normally UE means that the queues are wild. I prefer the new skyride as it been replaced with new carriages.

The live music in the evening was fantastic with the highlights for me being YFriday and certainly Kutless. I liked some of Superchick set but I felt like it was cheesy at times. I did feel bad for them when there was somebody behind me yelling to them to get off. I didn’t go the gym this week but the amount I jumping and hand waving must of made up for this.

So yeah.. good times! :) Cheers everybody again for making the day so fabulous for me and extra thanks for the people running this trip, dropping me off going out of their way. (Y)
