As before we start in Wheyrigg Cumbria, stop over this time in Derby and carry on to Worthing.
Here is a map link to Wheyrigg Hall

I have put this thread together fairly hastily so if you spot any mistakes please let me know.
We need to limit this to a group of six so first come first served. Of course I am unable to control other groups that may want to book as this is a public forum, I take no responsibility for other groups.
UpdateFace coverings will be mandatory in retail premises so please get yourself some face masks disposable or washable.
I bought some washable ones a weeks or so ago (I saw the writing on the wall
) from Etsy
https://www.etsy.com/uk/search?q=reusable%20face%20mask&ref=auto-1&as_prefix=reuI got two for £7.98 delivered.
Hand SanitiserIt's a good idea to carry a travel size (or larger if you prefer) bottle of hand sanitiser in your pocket or tank bag. Ideal for when you top up with fuel to sanitise your hands after handling the pump and paying.
I have carried hand sanitiser for years, mainly to stop my gloves getting smelly. I normally slather it on and get the gloves on quick before it evaporates
Another thing while I'm here, the lunch and coffee stops may change with booking tables now a bit of a thing. I will check with the various places before we get there to make sure they can accommodate us.
