TIPF Big Day Out Autumn 2017 - Buxton Peak District

[Clicker]

The Pavilion gardens are a six minute walk from the Station according to google maps Korks ...  that's where Rye has suggested we meet   .. is that ok  with you ...? 

[Korky]

Of course it's OK - I just assumed you'd have moved on from the 10 o'clock meet. But if you're happy to wait..........

Let's swap numbers (again!) and I'll give you a call when I arrive in Buxton.

Sorry if I was being thick.

Well I am happy to wait as long as it takes for you m'Lud ....   I  have to leave about  6 am as there are major roadworks on M5 and M6 so I am hoping I make it for10 am ....

[Korky]

Hoki doki - train tickets booked, I get in Buxton at 10:50 so should be with you all by 11.00.

So far it looks like just four of us ... ....

I am really sorry but I have overlooked a family commitment and have to duck out. I do expect to be at the Haworth Steampunk day though.

[Clicker]

Oh what a shame David ...  and then there were three.... 

[Korky]

I've been an' gone an' done it with the train tickets, but if you two want to cancel I'm OK with that. The tickets were only £22.50 and that won't break the bank.

Anyways, I have a late home on Friday night as I have to drive over to Skipton for a family meal.

Over to you - lemme know!

[Korky]

I hope  either you or Rye have got a tin of the proverbial red paint in your satchel ... I 'll bring a stick to stir it and some paintbrushes !

[Ryewolf]

Don't forget to bring some empty water bottles to take home some Buxton Spa water from St Anne's Well....

[Clicker]

Flippin' 'eck Rye ... Hubby thinks I'm already taking the kitchen sink!!

[Kobione]

Have a great day you 3 - and one of you will get a phone call from Oz, when you are together - hopefully not too long after your 11.00 am, because of our time difference.

Lol, yes, but it is free.... people pay good money for this water already in bottles, if you're coming 90 odd miles - make the most of it....

[Clicker]

Shall I bring you some Malvern Water ... we get it down the road every couple of weeks. HRM drinks it apparently ...

[Clicker]

Dee .. May be best to ring Geoff or me as Korks is on the train and not in his car  so less likely to be able to recharge if his battery gets low.

[Ryewolf]

Yes, why not... Who was it that wanted some Crinoid Fossils??? I got a bunch of them ready for the last BDO and completely forgot who wanted them.....

[Clicker]

It was Beepy I think ... for his lads ... My grandson  is keen on them too ..it must be a thing boys like at that age lol ... 

[Clicker]

What camera and lens(es) are you taking Geoff?

[Korky]

Can't help but notice how this thread's perked up since I mentioned the Raybans and the snakeskin trollies.

Cameras 800D and 100D, lens Canon 24-105mm F4L, Sigma 30mm f1.4, I'll probably bring along the Sigma 150-600mm - though that might stay in the car and the 100mm f2.8 macro. To be honest given the weather forecast it's likely to be the 800D + 24-105mm f4 and the 100d + Sigma 30mm f1.4 and a couple of spare batteries/cards I'll be walking around with - though I'll probably bring along the Storm Jacket Camera Cover... as the forecast for tomorow is scattered rain showers...

I wouldn't mind doing the Poole's Cavern tour, it's £9.50 for around a 1 hour tour - according to their website there's no more than 24 steps with 10 being the most in any one place...
