The current possible meets that are still to be confirmed include Neil at York, Steve and Gary at Beamish, anyone else who hasn't shouted yet!!

As you can see we have a very flexible time on Thursday afternoon and all day Saturday. I'll post up our likely route in the week and if you can meet us along the way it would be great!!

I have now laid out the route plan for Saturday's return journey if it helps anyone

Assuming no impediments then I will be at Beamish.

Thanks for the tagging/thread bombing on my blog/waffling thread. Will have a think

I've been to Leyburn, my brother got married there. A beautiful place. Seemed almost sea side like especially down the high street when you see a shop window full of 'marmalade' dolls..... If I remember correctly, the dambusters train in the valleys there, obviously not bombers now but fighter jets.

Looking forward to seeing you Steve

Hope those thoughts result in a meeting Matt

Thanks to Ryan's post here, I have been warned about an issue with the route plan, but as it only affects me on my first route on the trip I won't bother expanding on my new route. Changing the subject we are still hoping for confirmations and suggestions for meets as yet unknown?

[Rp0thejester]

An update, I'm sure Jim will spot it here,https://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/news/peo ... th-5284473

That website is a nightmare! As no doubt MK will be on the day...

[mickthemaverick]

There's still time to arrange a meet on Saturday if anyone can make it. Plus of course any other time on our travels so if you can join us at some point please do

Panic mode activated last night as I thought that Beamish was the 14th and that Friday was going to conflict with the C3 recall.
Just my poor memory, the recall is the 4th and I think the 14th must be my youngest son's wedding. Or something.

[mickthemaverick]

Ooops!! No problem Steve, if you do have to be somewhere else I could call in to collect the PC after Beamish but hopefully all will be well!!

[myglaren]

No, it's OK, just a bit muddled, not unusual.

[CitroJim]

No, it's OK, just a bit muddled, not unusual.

You and me both Steve - must be an age thing Really looking foreword to seeing you
