68..I'm sure that every time I've gone to Derby the museum has been closed.

69..I don't drink and so I'm not interested in a brewery tour.

70..I don't like biking - I admire the strength and skill of some of the mountainbikers I see on the moors.

62...I've been to Derby quite a few times but haven't visited this museum. If it was free admission I'd probably go inside.

63..I've seen the trains running on the Peak Rail line but haven't travelled on one; I've never actually been on a steam train.

64..I've been to Derby city centre but not to any of the parks.

65..Calke Abbey is south of Derby, just too far for me to be able to visit with my support worker.

66..I've been to Ashbourne a couple a times with my support worker; the first time we went it was spoiled for us because there were roadworks everywhere.

67..I've been once with my support worker, calling on the way back from our first visit to Ashbourne. It's a beautiful village, the highglight for us though was seeing all the different breeds of hens at a farm on the outskirts of the village...they are so much more colourful than you'd think.

59..I was walking in the area when the festival was taking place, it was in the morning and so no music was being played.

60..I've been inside but I'd say it's nothing special. Tideswell is an attractive village - it's quite large with a lot of facilities.

61..Yet again somewhere I visited on a school trip fifty years ago.

54..This location is very easy to reach on the bus from Sheffield, it only takes twenty five minutes and there's better than an hourly service.

55..I've been to Ashbourne a couple of times, it's a pretty market town. I've not been there on Shrove Tuesday though, and don't plan to.

56..There's a cafe at the outdoor swimming pool, I've been there for tea and cakes. I've not been swimming there though, I can't swim, I can't even float.

57..I'm not interested.

58..I went last year with my support worker; it's very dark inside to protect the tapestries from sunlight.

49..I went as a child but can't remember anything about it.

50..I'm not interested.

51..I've been to Castleton many times, but not for Garland Day.

52..I've been to Bamford Edge a few times but I wouldn't want to be up there when it's dark.
 
53..I've not been to Carsington Water but I could see it in the distance when I did a walk in the Brassington area.
