Good stuff ! just got to tell her indoors we are staying another night and come home via your event for a few hours on the way home. I will not have any boats with me but it will be good to pop over and have a look.
Cheers for the info Roger. Fingers crossed the sun will be out all next week in Bakewell and see you a week on Sunday.
