See picture below - about 100m as crow flies or 200m walking on the road


Huh, brilliant
I can walk 200m even with eyes closed as long there is someone walking ahead of me and says something every minute or so

All you will have to do is say some random words every 60sec and I will follow the sound with closed eyes, no need to drag me, hug and drag, push or roll

I'm in. And so's the boss.
She got scary when I suggested bringing her inherited bottle of a somewhat rare, weird blend of malts. It's surprisingly good, but I'm afraid you'll just have to take my word for that
I too was holding off re-stocking until the meet, but I'll see if I can get to the shops before departure.

I'm from Yorkshire stock, remember. Had to look up 'donate' - what a strange concept!

I'm a possible player, i'd like to sample a few anyway. All depends on times and how tired the kids are. I have a bottle of Old Poultney i'll bring with me.
