From Susan at Dick's cookie:
I am trying to finalize the arrangements. There is still room for one or two more stops between Monday and Wednesday before Whitby Aug 14-16. I have not yet told Bron which nite we will be there pending knowing the other stops. Anyone else...

Has anyone driven from Whitby to Towersey? How long does it take?

About 8 hours - more if you have a really dodgy car. This is allowing for 3 - 5 20 min breaks and another 30 to get lost in, and for keeping to the speed limit.

It takes about 6 from East London to Whitby, and about 1 1/2 from East London to Towersey along the M25 on a good day (allow extra for M25 - it is a crappy piece of road), so that makes about 8.

Thanx Liz. So the Friday is pretty well lost to both Whitby and Towersey. We will have to get to a town with a car rental near Whitby early Friday and start down to Towersey. No luck yet on booking a room near Towersey, but I have not yet exhausted the possibilities. Now that we decided on a car, we can be further away.

Since we will be at the Champlain Valley Festival in Vermont this coming weekend, I am trying to finish up the arrangements.

ITINERARY SO FAR:
Thursday Aug 10 - Fly to Gatwick, arriving 10 pm. Pick up car. B&B in Horley near airport.
Friday Aug 11 - visit people in Brighton and vicinity (music, but not mudcat)
Saturday Aug 12 - Drive to Micca's in London, pub nite at Black Lion in Plaistow, seeing Micca, Liz, Gervase, Morticia,....Stay with Micca
Sunday Aug 13 to Hertfordshire, seeing Ian, Alan, Kevin. stay with one of them
Monday Aug 14 - fairly clear at this time
Tuesday Aug 15 - Drive to Welshpool, see Bron and stay near her.
Wednesday Aug 16 - drive toward Leeds, open
Thursday Aug 17 - drop off car. connect with Bill Sables. pub sing at Jug. stay with Bill
Friday Aug 18 to Friday Aug 25 at Whitby, camping, meeting lots of mudcatters
Friday Aug 25 - get lift to town with car rental in morning. drive to Towersey
Saturday Aug 26 - at Towersey
Sunday Aug 27 - drive to Horley/Gatwick
Monday Aug 28 - fly home.

Or that's it until it changes...

Sorrow for usurping the thread, susan and Dick. Hope you have a grand time.

Liz and Morticia we won't need a place to stay just friends to make music with or share a pint during that week. But thanks for the offers.

I'll pm the details closer to the trip.

cheers, Fortunato (Chance)

There's a good tuesday night session at the sloop in Barton on humber, not a vast distance from whitby. Give it a go if you have the opportunity.Mainly fiddles but some singing, and the guiness is ok.

We leave Thursday morning. The itinerary is still pretty much what I posted last week. We have pinned down a place to stay at Towersey. Any last minute e-mails, please send in the next day or so. Thank you all. Hope to meet a lot of you.
