Hi Andy, it would be good to see you and the missus, hope you can get over.

Depending on numbers, I was thinking of coffees and nosh at our gaff later on too, stopping over at Belper Morrisons to top up on the neccessary if its before 4pm, was thinking of a trolley dash and making spontaneous purchases of whatever we fancied, then we'll have fun in the kitchen whilst drinking.

I cant really see a BBQ being allowed at Chatsworth.

As you drive in, the house will be on the right, with the car park pay booth in front of you. The gravel bit of the car park is dead ahead and slightly to the left, in regimented rows, we dont want to park there. The far left is grass and some trees, which is where we want to be for a picnic. I expect it will be busy.

Turn up at 13:00'ish, pay at the booth for parking only, then work your way over to the far left where it is grass and trees on a bit of a slope going upto the tree line where the woods are.

There are chickens roaming around, and sheep across the road towards the river. The river has crocodiles and cruise liners with swimming pools. If its not raining, we can shoot Bulgarians.

I like the idea of the shooting.

As to the bbq's, i'll leave them at home them.
If your up for a small convoy i think Minimax is interested.
Would help me as i have no idea where Chatsworth house is and my Satnav works when it wants to.

Well, it looks like the weather will hold for us, meeting up at 1pm, probably be picnicing and arsing about for a few hours, then decide to do something else late afternoon, early evening. We may end up with a video or something at my place and knocking up some food & drink.

1pm at Chatsworth.

As you drive in, there is the green kiosk to pay for parking, rows of gravel parking is on the other side of the kiosk and to the left, but we will be going over to the far left where the grass turns into a few trees and meets the tree line of the woods on the hillside.
