I finish work about 5pm and am about an hour away so hope to be at the hotel approx 6pm. If there are no Friday 13th gremlins () I'll be in my black D4. Very much looking forward to meeting whoever will be there, and wishing everyone safe travels.

Cheers - Graham

Hi Graham, most of us who are there on the Friday evening are heading for a meal at Sapore Kendal for 7:30pm if you want to join let me know and I can try add you on to the booking.

Hey, Connor, is the restaurant on Friday walkable from the hotel, or do we need to drive or gat a taxi? I won’t want to drive and Christine won’t drive the S8 (she thinks that I’m too precious about it!).

Just happened to be looking at that last night. 1.6 miles, with on street parking for 10 vehicles (4 disabled). Not sure about car parks in the vicinity.
