That'd be good - as per usual, feel free to add yourself as a "maybe" if you think that's a realistic possibility, as that'll help with managing numbers for parking, lunch, etc..

This is back on again . New date is Sunday 23rd March (by which time spring should have arrived, hopefully).

Same outline venue plans as before - i.e. The Vine pub as a car base/lunch venue (https://g.co/kgs/jn6gCKb) - with the option to mosey along to Dunham Massey Park
(https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attrac...r_England.html), which is a very short walk - or an even shorter drive

Start time from midday onwards, end time tbc/flexible. Current attendees as noted below:

tintin
tc4332
ginnam
Mrfaz
Tonupkid (hopefull maybe)

Feel free to add your name if you're interested in coming along - the Vine/car park should be able to cope

Pretty sure we ate at The Vine last time we visited Dunham Massey. And my maybe has now morphed into an 'almost certain'.
Glad to see you are dedicating your time to research
