    I'd have to do some investigation but the one that Zigs has found is easily within cycle distance - probably no more than four miles (not sure).

      That one does seem to fit the bill. I'll probably contact them nearer the time to check for various practical points.

      @shiney and @Zigs thanks for the info.

          @JWK I don't think he cycled but I think he came by train. :dbgrtmb: I think he's over 100 miles away - but he may be a fast cyclist :snork:

            My Cousin, Margo, who came to Shineyland on the Saturday has asked me to pass on her thanks for the welcome, the laughs and the great day she had, with special thanks to the Gals who made her part of the Gang and laugh so much.:love30::snorky:

                          Unfortunately, Margo doesn't have Wi-fi where she lives, "M", which is why she uses e-mail from where she works because they do have it there. She really did enjoy herself and I have a feeling she'll be back for more laughs and good company next year!!:snorky:
