Suffolk County Council chums Stuart and Sarah get married at Naworth Castle near Keswick in Cumbria, so Nosher and the gang head up from Ipswich in the trusty Mark 1 Astra to join in. On the way, whilst stuck in a queue of traffic on the M6 around Birmingham, Tim and Trevor even decide to have a quick race around the car. Nosher is super-skint, so whilst everyone else has rented rooms in an outbound center outside Keswick (The Briars), Nosher dosses in his car for a few nights (although manages to lig a spot on the floor for the first night). However, the most important mission when we get there is to visit an off-licence in Keswick and stock up on Foster's Extra. This then sustains us through several evenings and several breakfasts. There are also a few impromptu drum workshops, walks up the nearby disused railway line and a hiring of bicycles to tour around the nearby hills of Cumbria. Nosher also had a mobile phone (a large analogue model on the Cellnet network), which at the time was still something of a novelty. There was no phone in the building, so people actually queued up to use it to call home, even though you had to stand in the garden to get a signal.
