Buxton ... You not paying attention :smt003

Bang in the middle depends where you are you heading from... If coming over the cat and fiddle way as you turn left and drop into the outskirts at the first lights bear right at the pub opposite the lights and straight in until you come to a biggish junction with more lights ( there are 5 roads there hence the name) and there is a laundrette on your right the cafe is next to that

Coming from the bakewell side turn left at the morrisons roundabout and straight up to the same junction

Looking at the BBC forecast it's supposed to be ok, or at least until late afternoon anyway.

Is it just us 3 then?? I was talking to another falco owner a couple of weeks ago. Bumped into him again yesterday, He said he might be up for it. (Sign up if you read this Brian)

My current plan is 9:30ish leave house

follow sat-nav for an hour and a bit

11-00ish arrive Buxton

That's about as much thought as I'd put into it to be honest.
