The BBs in a Garden, and a Qualcomm Safari, Woburn, Bedfordshire - 22nd July 2007
Nosher's former (and Isobel's current) employer Qualcomm Cambridge arranges a day out for the troops at Woburn Safari park in Bedfordshire. We turn up a bit late, not realising that the barbeque was already over, although we still manage to lig some leftovers. We also manage to lig an earlier spot on the open-top truck which gives us a tour of the less-dangerous stuff, before we head around the full circuit in the car. There are some good opportunities to get pretty close up to some big beasts, especially the tigers and lions, and some entertaining giraffe and monkeys. Before the safari, The BBs are playing a gig in someone's garden.
