The plan..

OK - route and dates finalised; still one or two accommodation options to consider; Kilmarnock, Chester and Barnstaple are the only two venues in which I have not yet sorted somewhere to stay, but will work on that early in new year.

Still turning the screw on Mark Lupton to make up the Dirty Dozen, haven't given up hope yet!         For those of you that haven't seen this yet; xtranormal video link  give it a view, and you'll have some idea of what I'm up against (disclaimer - it's not for the kids, viewer discretion advised!)
