Oh dear, I hope your aches & pains subside sooner rather than later. I don't know anything (!) about feet, but depending on your back problem I can thoroughly recommend Robin McKenzie's 'Treat Your Own Back', ISBN: 9780987650405....usually available in Smiths....or any good library!

It sounds great fun, JJ and I'd love to be involved another time (currently nursing a bad back and a painful foot, so not travelling far.)

Hope you get a good crowd of Freaks joining you :)

This is The Lymm Expedition....anyway, you can see the Peak District from Lymm.

Well you could if you stood on the humpty-back bridge.....and the weather is clear.

Since when was Lymm in the Peak District?

Freaks in the Peaks are a Border Morris side that meet up every 10-12 weeks for a weekend of Morris and ceilidh dancing, music, song....and fun!

The format of the weekend is quite simple: a hall is hired for the weekend that serves as a venue for teaching / learning dances & tunes. It's also used for indoor camping and as a general base for the weekend.

Friday night: Meet at the Spread Eagle pub in Lymm, Cheshire, for a bit of a sing, a play, a few beers and a damned good catch up.
Indoor camping for those that want to.

Saturday
Morning: Dance and tune workshop
Afternoon: Pedestrian tour of pubs and other dance venues around the village.
Evening: Communal meal followed be a ceilidh / morris dance.

Sunday
Morning: Walking tour of around 5 miles (in total) with plenty of dance stops / spots.
Lunchtime: Er, lunch break.
Afternoon: Continue the walking dance tour. Return to base to clear up and go home by around 4pm.

All jolly good fun!

Details are on the Freaks website
