Lunchtime stops are less easy to guarentee and organise but let me know if you are anywhere enroute and something can be arranged during the day,even a spot of boating and lock working.

I've just realised that the place we take our puppy to for training of a Saturday morning is just down the road from Butchers Arms the onlie begetter of the micropub movement, so I'm planning to avail myself of this opportunity in the next few weeks.

I’ve booked an overnight in Carlisle for next Friday and a long weekend the following week in Nottingham but concentrating on Arnold, Hucknall and Beeston. I’ll hang fire on others in case we get another lockdown. I am still hopeful that the current restrictions in Brum are lifted a bit by November.
We are planning (have booked) a week in the Dales in early November, though I think we'll be lucky to make it.
