Back by popular demand and hot on the heels of last weekends Yorkshire adventure, I will be once again hosting another weekend here in the Staffordshire Moorlands!
We will be pretty much staying with last years formula, hence keeping the same date that I hope everyone can make. This year I will have Adam and Steve (@adamvarley and Sjvarley) helping out with the lanes so we should be able to keep group numbers low and get more done in the time we have!
The Plan
SATURDAY 23RD
Everyone to arrive at the meeting point in Cheddleton, Staffordshire between 11am-12pm for a quick departure to take in some local lanes and scenery, return back to base early evening for the usual bonfire and BBQ late into the night!
SUNDAY 24TH
At the moment the plan is for us to visit the local pay and play site at Tickhill Quarry as we did last year. This means we can have a fairly relaxed start (around 10am) and play it by ear on when we finish for the day. This seemed to work well last time and I hope everyone will be happy doing this again.

There is a small possibility we could change to a green lane run, depending on what routes I can scout out in the coming weeks.
ACCOMMODATION
As with the last two years we will be meeting at my home and camping/caravans in the field are more than welcome, Friday included.
Our two holiday cottages (which we had just purchased before last years event) are very nearly completed and these will be available to rent on a per room basis for anyone that is coming. We have a total of 7 rooms available each sleeping two, cost for the entire weekend (Friday to Monday) will be £100 per room. There is also one family room available which can sleep four. Once I have some numbers I can give more info on this.
Of course there are also a number of B&B's and hotels available locally for anyone who doesn't want to spend the entire weekend surrounded by Panda nutcases!
As usual if we can get a list going of who's coming and also include whether you would like to camp or book a room that would be most helpful. Any questions do of course let me know!
