I have decided to stay here instead of Gidleigh. Thanks for the heads up! I will be sure to do a write-up on it. You also managed to stick the idea of going to The Brando in my mind, but after researching it and finding out best time is May > October, it won't be until next year that it happens, if it does happen.
