Following on from our exciting/scarring hack day earlier in the year we decided to level up and lock ourselves away somewhere out of London for a couple of nights. Using only our instincts and our teamwork plus our laptops, wi-fi, a fully stocked fridge, TV, DVD, en suite bathrooms, a gym and ample parking to survive.
We ended up in a wonderful converted dairy near Bath.

which we slowly covered in post-it notes.

Our plan for the time was…
to work on developing internal tools for project management,

put the finishing touches to our new website

record a podcast

and to watch Arnold Schwarzenegger movies.

On the first night Tom made a Chili which was highly rated

The second night involved a trip into Bath for a meal and some dancing.
There are no photos of this.
OK, there might be a couple

Away from the distractions of modern life, but not away from the comforts, it was the perfect way to get work done and get a different perspective. Thinking outside the box by thinking inside a dairy.
My highlight of the trip was recommending Squarespace to our cab driver for his new airport pick up business.
