A quick trip back to Paulton's Park near Southampton, this time with the European Coaster Club and a chance to visit the dinosaur kingdom that I was unable to get into last month.
The club had arranged for an early start as we had a morning ERS. It was nice to get the welcome from the park too.
We started the day with an ERS on Cobra. I chose to just take photos and didn't ride anything but the others had a good time, despite the weather.
