After partaking in one of my frequent dusk strolls I happened upon this vast lush green haven that…read moreis Camperdown Park (or as some cheeky so and so has altered the sign to say 'Cancer Do Prake', whatever that means). For the initial couple of hours which I had planned to spend perusing the premises I have not a bad utterance to offer of the place. However the day took a turn for the dark when I stumled into a satanic ceremony. Goths, flames, an effigy of who I could only fathom to be Holly Willoughby and a small pile of trenchcoats gathered by a sign offering woodland walks. I am not too macho macho man to admit that I was indeed terrafraid. The pale faced death-mongers spotted me and demanded that I join the 'Danse de Muerte', kitting me out in a t-shirt that read 'Hellsputum - The Gosford Dark Tour' and a leather dog collar with one previous owner (Hooch the Pooch). They forced me to wear nothing but these items and parade around the Willoughby scarecrow chanting things which I find too absurd to even repeat in e-writing. After a very long and stomach churning four hours, in which I saw things which mine eyes hath never glanced upon before (one such event involved a squirrel and a bottle of 'poppers') the goths eventualy tired and fell asleep in a fleshy, sweaty, make-up covered slump. At this point I took my escape. I have never been back, and doubt I ever will return. Although I did leave my favourite jumper sat near one of their cauldrons (it had a knitted image of Daniel Radcliffe on it). As it stands I am one jumper down and can never watch The Crow again. This was easily one of the most terrifying things I have ever seen and I urge anyone going to Camperdown Park to go heavily armed (holy water and the like). I leave you with a message that great man (can't remember) told me once and which I repeated to myself under my breath on that fateful day: 'When all those around you appear to be losing their marbles, Remember, hombre, we all walk with a slight limp, Even the most upright amongst us.'

The coffee shop however always seems to be very busy - but you dont need to enter the gardens to get into the coffee shop. Owned by the University, its one of Dundee's most poular attractions. Has one very large greenhouse which holds desert and rainforest type plants, the outdoor area is divided up into various regions of teh world - to best appreciate it you need to get off the paths and walk between the various planted areas Has an entry fee - but its not much. Also hosts events (separate entrance fees) such as the Garden Of Light an outdoor light and sound show, Halloween Ghost walks, plant sales, talks and tours and a lot of art exhibitions in its visitor centre Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQXCCN1X6Q8

I'm off to go a wandering around the mountain sides. Well I would do if I were a yeti (debatable…read morethat I'm not) or I didn't live in a place where we don't have mountains. Oh well luckily we have enough rolling hillsides and green spaces as a good substitute and Middleton Park is one such place. It's a pretty big expanse of ancient woodland and a designated nature reserve. You've also got grass land, a golf course and recreational areas. The woodland area is a particular favourite with me. It's quite simply lush. A little haven for all the little birdies and wood life creatures to dart about (and me, a big gormless idiot). It's really nice to take five from the busy centre and you'll also find streams, ponds and an abundance of flowers. I never get bored of seeing Bluebells and when they are in full swing it's a joy to behold. Add to that some tennis courts, a bowling green and even an education centre and you've got a very pleasant day out on your hands. Great to have such little pockets of joy in the area.
