DaveJ, have you set off yet? See you about the middle of August? :0) (Not heard that song before- great story!) Beer's not Bass though, but Thwaites's's, and I believe they do a good pint of the black stuff too.

I'm not going to follow Dave's directions... I turn right when leaving junction 23 of the M60 (as will anyone coming from the north) and head towards Manchester, away from Ashton. Follow Droylsden signs, and see you there!
