Andy, I will reply on Andrew's behalf:

- Not too much walking
- The more the merrier - we would love to meet you and your girlfriend
- Lots of great locations we plan to visit and the weather should be favourable, though a bit windy!

Hope you can make it.

Regards

I'll see how I feel in the morning. Having initially recovered from a winter bug, I now seem to have made it worse again after spending two days in a freezing Paris exhibition hall...

Common sense dictates a day at home, but I'm not always terribly sensible. If I'm not cradling a pint of tea in Grindleford by 10.15, probably best to assume that I'm cradling a pint of tea in north-west Kent.

Either way, I hope you all have a good day.

Last time I was at Grindleford, there is no parking charges. That was less than 4 months ago.
The Cafe is excellent, big butties with what you want on them (eggs, bacon sausages) and big mugs of Coffee and Tea.

Will I be there? More than likely.....

Thanks David & Andrew

It'll be great to meet you tomorrow, We'll set off here just after 8:00, according to google it's a 1:33 min drive so should be with you in plenty of time. I'll PM my contact details in case of any last min changes.

Assuming we've not been blown away, see you tomorrow

Great day, nice to faces to names. Really enjoyed it. Padley Gorge was a tad muddy, but this is what us togs do......
Shame I missed you all at Castleton, I hope Stanedge was not too windy. I was enjoying a great lunch in the Castle pub in the heart of the village.

Looking forward to our next meet in the peaks.
Anyone up for an early morning on Curbar in April?

Had a great day, despite the iffy weather! It wouldn't have been a proper Peak District meet without the hail

Big thanks to Drew for organising it and the locations.

Thanks to everyone for today, good to meet Iain, Andy and Catherine as well as seeing the regular faces again.

Now, where is the whiskey...I need to warm up.
