That's a pity, but can't be helped. Let's hope we have a good week weatherwise! :-D

I would not be able to make the Sunday, due to my work rota. Still that probably means your ears won't get excessively bashed!

That's a pity James although it would have been a very early meet as we are leaving Reading at 6.30am ! Not a problem as we see you at lunches! :-D

We have made an adjustment to the route on day 3 to visit the Zip centre for lunch and a trip down the mine so now the route looks like this:

Time to bring this thread back into view as we only have a month to go before we set off. So anyone who can confirm meetings as per earlier discussions in the thread please say so now and we can start making plans for them :-D

I still have it down on my calendar.

14th May = I'll confirm as soon as I can. Need to work out what work has in store for me (meetings and trips away a plenty at moment) and if there's anything landing on the 14th (if not, I'll get it booked off)

Just a fortnight to go now so I'd appreciate confirmations of prospective meets during the trip. Currently I am hoping Gibbo can join us in Coleford for dinner/after dinner drinks, Paul for elevenses around the Wirral or lunch with Matt in the Warrington area if Matt can make it? Any others would be welcome? :-D

As it's a Wednesday, and maybe more suitable for your timings, instead of the Bluebell Tearoom can I suggest the café at St Bartholemew;s Church, Sealand? Another of our lunching spots it's just that bit closer to Wales - in fact it's still (just) in Wales.

The venue is fine with me Paul, it depends on Matt for timing. If he can get there we could have lunch there or if not, meet for elevenses there and then go on to Warrington for lunch. What are your thoughts Matt? :-D
