Advertisement Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Hi elansprint72, Take a look here NW England........ where to next?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stunsworth Posted May 24, 2007 Share #2 Posted May 24, 2007 I mentioned Blackpool a while ago - that might prove a little down at heel for our more aristocratic friends. How about a jaunt over to North Wales? Conway? I'm open to suggestions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted May 25, 2007 Share #3 Posted May 25, 2007 Down at heel? I was in the poshest restaurant in Blackpool at the exact same time you were writing that, last night. We were the only occupied table there... What it needs is a property developer to come along... I think that zany should take us on an expedition up the Glyders, or wherever, and show us how it's done. Or maybe someone with connections in the luxury car market could get us into an assembly hall in Crewe Maybe we should think further afield? After all, most of us have "done" most of this area.

stunsworth Posted May 26, 2007 Share #10 Posted May 26, 2007 Good suggestion Andy but as you say maybe a bit too short notice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share #11 Posted June 28, 2007 Cheshire Steam Fair I'm thinking of going to the Steam Rally at Tabley on either the 14th or 15th of July, anyone care to join me? Bastille Day is normally celebrated appropriately, chez nous, so I'm undecided on which day will produce the sharper photos. Given the current weather patterns, a late decision may be the way forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted June 28, 2007 Share #12 Posted June 28, 2007 A July weekend. Hmmm. Too close to my birthday to be spent with some bunch of middle-aged blokes what smell of fixer, I'm afraid... BUT, never fear! Let's do New Brighton in August or September. It's the Blackpool of the Wirral after all. (Am I selling this right, guys?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocker Posted June 28, 2007 Share #13 Posted June 28, 2007 New Brighton in September would get my vote - "Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness" as the Scousers say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted June 29, 2007 Share #14 Posted June 29, 2007 I'd be up for the steam fair and New Brighton. Nothing like the the light on the Mersey on an Autumnal afternoon. Pete, when you've made up you mind regarding the steam fair let me know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted June 29, 2007 Share #15 Posted June 29, 2007 Can't make 14th or 15th July - but Autumn on the peninsular sounds good to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
