00bersome :)
Ed knows the place better than me and has as usual, offered the club a trip.
It is in Cumbria though, so a weekend stay in a bunkhouse would probably be best.
As Joel says i would gladly offer a day or weekend of trips up at Nent. Trips can be anything from walk round trips with wet feet to full srt or wading through deep water. there is tonnes of stuff to see and lots of artefacts hidden away :)
I'm up for this but i better let the new baby situation calm down for a month or so.....
I'll suggest a trip in the trips and events....
Ed, are your pics on Flickr? throw them up here if you can :P.
You got some really nice ones.
