Bongo Fury

Hi,

If you're at a bit of a loose end on Sunday with Haworth being cancelled, will be at the information centre car park in Downham village, on the side of Pendle Hill from 11 am. Plenty of free parking, ice cream shop, pub, picnic benches, post office and tea rooms - award winning toilets! There is a nice brook that runs through the village and is famous for all the ducks. The village was the set for the film whistle down the wind and more recently for the BBC series born and bred.

Here's some info on the pub and the village if anybody's interested.

Just post here if you fancy it, or turn up!

Thanks,
Hotpot

ps. There's also the sheep festival in Clitheroe and annual beer festival this weekend too which is worth a look, pm if you want any details

Regards getting to Downham, the road from the A59 from the Worston turnoff can be a bit windy and is single track with passing places, though it is the prettiest route. An alternative is to take the turn off for Chatburn, go into the village and at Hudsons Ice cream shop on the corner (homemade yum) turn up the hill called "Downham Road", you will go over a bridge and a couple of miles away you get to the Assheton Arms in Downham where the road forks bear right just follow the road round past the brook and the entrance to the car park is on your right.

We should get to that, maybe only a flyer, though

no caps - hmmm. Does this mean you are WHISPERING MC

Sounds like a lovely outing Hotpot. Probably not on for me due to family commitments (=disarray) but if there is a mood for an outing then we'll see you there. Have a great outing whatever.

I am doing but as I spend all day typing for a living its driving me potty and my right little finger is aching as it is not used to stretching for that key . It would annpy me less if it wasn't a plug in keyboard because the laptop one broke ages ago. I need special small keyboards because of small hands and rsi so I will have to take another trip to maplins.

The C'roe sheepfest is a bit of fun really, they place models of sheep all over the town as a reminder to the farming industry round here. No real sheep tho! A mate of mine has to get up really early and wheel all these sheep in a tesco's shopping trolley around and hide them in the castle grounds, loopy
