    Let’s try this again! 2021 is hopefully the year!

    Location: Peak District
    Dates: Tuesday 4th - Friday 7th 2021

    (Note: I have copied over the information from previous thread - in case anyone new is checking this out)

    The place I’ve found is a self catering converted village pub, there are 17 bedrooms over the 4 cottages on the grounds, we have secure parking for approx. 20 cars, an outside area with enough space for 34 people along with a BBQ. They have a bar area with a pool table and darts board - I can see Crombers all over the bar already.

    The price would be £250 per room, if all 17 rooms aren’t filled then the price would go up slightly to compensate. The £250 would include a BBQ one night (the food would be provided we need to cook it lol) I’d need an non refundable deposit of £75 as we need to pay part to secure the place.

    Link to the place - https://www.peakvenues.co.uk/venues/...-harpur/#about

    The rest is to be paid no later than 12 weeks before so the remaining £175 would be need to be paid to me no later than the end of January however, I’ll accept payment of the remaining £175 at any time up to that point. I don’t want to be asking for lots of money just after Christmas so if it easier to pay in October for example I’m happy for that.

    With regards to the self catering, I’d ask for an amount (£10) per person and would get bacon / sausages / rolls / fresh juices etc for the kitchen. Myself and Christina have already said we would be happy to cook the bacon and sausage rolls for breakfast and I’m sure others would help. It would be BYOB with alcohol and juice, I’ll remind you all closer to the time.

    Myself and William plan on going down at some point and working out routes etc and provide an intinary closer to the event.

    So who wants to go?

    Well in the interests of a Healthy Heart Regime, I’m limiting it to a quarter bottle on my Sugar Puffs during Lockdown... with a pint of Buckfast.

    Seriously though, I haven’t had ANY bevvy since February! Being “Home Alone” I thought I’d give it a body swerve till I can enjoy it in some good company!

    It’s certainly a bummer not getting away for our annual trip away and I’m definitely going to miss all our laughs and carry on that we would have had but at least we’ve got next year to look forward to.

    Definitely a bummer not getting away - especially when the weather is like this. Getting into the spirit of it at home...

    Just thought I'd 'stir' the thread to see if we can add to our numbers next year.
    Speaking with the Mods yesterday regarding the Bakewell Tour it would appear that we have one space available (correct me if I'm wrong Megan). Yesterday's run saw a good number of new faces which was fantastic to see & maybe this superb trip will be of interest to some
