Blackpool

Since James became tall enough to ride most of them, the number of roller coasters that Tyson has been dragged onto has increased exponentially.

Tyson feels oddly proud and yet somehow betrayed at the way Jethro weaponises his son to get Tyson to agree to things.

Usually, they’ll meet in Blackpool for the day: a comfortable mid-point in travel for them both, from Cumbria and London. First to the Sandcastle Waterpark, picnic lunch on the beach, then into the Pleasure Beach (themepark), a break for fish and chips on the pier, before driving out to see the Blackpool Lights; on route to drop Tyson back at the train station.

Tyson isn’t afraid of any of the rides, but he does become antsy on longer rides, feeling caged in and wanting to escape. He also does his best to avoid any that involve getting wet out of principle.
