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.

46..This is somewhere I'd love to visit but I can't get there on public transport and it's not a suitable location to visit in the car with my support worker.

47..I've been here quite a few times.

39..Fischer's is far too expensive for me. Baslow is a pretty village though and conveniently located for access to Chatsworth park.

40..The Opera House is a beautiful building but I've not seen a show there.

41..I've been a walk where I started from Monyash and was able to see these two hills from a couple of miles away; they are quite impressive.

42..I didn't even know there are vineyards in Derbyshire.

43..I've only ever been camping once and didn't like it.

34..I think I might have technically been inside the boundaries of Buxton Country Park, but that's it.

35..I've never been; I'm not interested.

36..This is somewhere I've always wanted to visit, but I can't get there on public transport. I think I might have passed by the area in the car with my support worker when we went to Leek.

37..I've been to Belper, it's quite a nice town - I've not beeen to Strutt's Mill though.

38..I've been to Lyme Park with my support worker when it was free admission; we didn't explore the parkland though because it was raining.
