Went very briefly to Bath last night with the family who also wanted to escape the TV and food/drink!
I took my new tripod (faulty and unusable grrrr!) and Gorillapod .
Although, I fear it is not strong enough to use as a mini-tripod with the heavy 'L' lenses,
it is great fun to wrap around a post or bench rail and take a long exposure shot that would have been impossible to hand hold.
And this is one such example!
