Oh well, moving on we arrive at De Montfort University


This appears to be the standard paragraphs for the history of here, but as there hasnt been any recent reports here it is again...

History

De Montfort University is named after Simon de Montfort, a 13th century Earl of Leicester credited with establishing the first parliament in 1265.

The De Montfort University Bedford was the sister university to De Montfort University Leicester, and together they made up one of the largest universities in the UK. Over 3,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students studied at Bedford, along with another 20,000 or so at the Leicester centre.

In 2006 there was an educational merger with Luton University (breaking links with De Montfort Leicester) and its name was changed to The University of Bedfordshire. With new facilities built at the Polhill campus (the university's other much larger site in Bedford), the Landsdowne campus was closed in 2007.

All we managed to see this visit was the sports/leisure building - Reid and Stansfeld

Visited with the great, and often amusing company of Priority7










Last reports I've seen the netting was strung over the top of the pool, sadly it has given way to gravity now and is now laying at the base...








How high! Funny how looking down from a diving board always looks really high from up there, it's even worse with no water to cushion your fall!


























Yeh, I climbed one of those













''What the hell have you got on your feet? I dont recognise those, you cant come in!''


















Finally, me wondering where all the popcorn has gone while waiting for Priority7 to do his re-enactment of Swan Lake...
