Day Trip From Manchester

Post by grahamt7 »

Hi All,

I'm thinking about organising a bit of a day jaunt from Manchester, somewhere within a radius of say 60 miles, so the travelling is not too long and we can actually get a visit in somewhere.

Items so far as ideas......

Thinking about a Sunday in the later part of May or early June, avoiding the bank holiday, and whoever decides they are going to meet up at some central-ish point and go most of the way there and back in convoy.

There. I've done it now. Who's up for it / got any ideas / any suggested dates?

I'm sure there is something planned for Chatsworth this year but I can't remember or find any details on it - Maybe you could tie your run in with that....?

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.
