Gun powder museum
Woke up on Sunday at A&I's and got ready to leave. Was out the door before 10 and headed back to St Albans to see the Roman stuff a little more. Unfortunately it didn't open until 2 so I decided that since I would visit A&I again soon that I could skip it.
So I went straight to the Gun Powder museum on the A121. IT was fantastic - really friendly and informative staff, and an amazing history all about the making of various explosives and the research and development too. Both Cordite and Kevlar were developed there.
They had a train tour, and I was lucky enough to be there on a day when they had some Militia reenacting the 1600's with canons and so on, and there are interactive exhibits as well as normal walk around and read ones. Really good and enjoyable.
I stayed there so long I didn't leave time to go and see anything else today so headed straight up to Cambridge YHA in the worst wind ever, and managed to get in just before it rained!!
And that's where I am now, having had a dinner bought from Sainsburys 'food only' (which means everything is instant) and tonight I will decided what I will do tomorrow, using Cambridge as my base..
