77...I've not been to any of the food festivals mentioned.

78..I finally got to go to Ilam eighteen months ago and it lived up to expectations.

79..Cheshire is too far for me to reach on public transport and Siobhan, my support worker, can't cope with walking on the moors.

80..I love taking afternoon tea, it's an expensive treat though.

71..I've walked the entire length of the canal towpath. I wasn't looking out for wildlife though, I'm much more interested in the landscape and architecture.

72..I've visited the cathedral but not climbed up the tower.

73..I regularly visit Hathersage, it's easy to get to and is a good base for reaching Stanage Edge.

74..Belper is a nice town, I've visited a couple of times with my support worker. If I wanted to it wouldn't be too difficult for me to get there using public transport.

75..The 272 bus which goes to Castleton passes by Surprise View and the view is stunning.

76..I've not been to Heage yet.

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.
