Carol we hired a boat and had a ball even though the weather rained, I'd be up for it again.

If Bridge House Marina was the eventual location then boat hire for a day would enable enough time to go to Lancaster for anyone interested. Cost would be about £12 each if 8 people on board. Other location would be a trip in the other direction to eat at Old Nell's (Guy's Court) - now their steak and kidney pudding is something to write home about!!!

is the marina and fisheries far apart? Is it possible to stay at the fisheries and do the boats etc?

It would be possible to stay at one and hire a boat from the other but we would need to sort out the transport between each - approx 5 or 6 miles apart. Parking at the marina is ok although there is a height barrier on to the main car park.

Let's see what Viennese comes up with.

I could certainly 'toad ' my car which would take 4 of us (it's only a little Picanto) and wouldn't mind doing a couple of trips.

His name is David and he lives on a yacht (currently moored in southern Spain) but we have been travelling together in my motorhome for the past month. We hit it off from the start and I reckon he's a keeper. ::bigsmile:
Pleased for you Maz altho I was hoping we could repeat our little board game meet sometime. Expect that's a no no now then.

Just don't forget what your signature says lol;)

No, we'll be overwintering in the UK (no problem on hook-up in a fully winterised van :wink:) but plan on heading across the Channel to explore France in the spring. :Smile:

Looks like the North West wins out for venue, and date will be later than I suggested, so regretfully I shall not be able to attend. However I will save Holme Valley for a later date. Hope all goes well!

I didn't think any date had been set yet. I just threw my idea out there to see if that worked for people :)

No confirmed date yet, just trying to see if there is enough interest first.

Date certainly hasn't been set for Lancashire options. I just thought that people would prefer later rather than sooner within a low season price bracket) because of the weather.

I thought the decision as to where/when to go would possibly be made after 'Viennese' had checked out Holme Valley.

As said previously I am up for any location!
