Hi all

I am in Manila at present on a dig - VERY Interesting let me tell you!!!!!

I will post more details when I get home next week.

Thanks for the info I will definately book when I get home and come over and meet you all. I am sure we will all have a real hoot. I am also going to go to the Yeovalton Museum (Never could spell) so if anybody is near there I will meet up with them as well.

I will contact you all when I make the bookings, thanks again

Kindest regards

Hi John,
Yeovilton is a great museum. Let us have your plans, dates etc, and I'm sure we can get a meet together. Don't know of anyone down that neck of the woods.

How long and were are you planning to stay? Most 'good stuff' can be reached within about 2 hr drive of London, but it's not a place to stay or drive from as it's rather busy an expensive. Staying somewhere just north of London is a good idea...

Hi all
Thanks to everybody - I hope to be arriving in the UK about Tuesday in the last week of September and I will post dates when I know them I would love to meet as many UK WIXers as possible and I will be staying for about two weeks . The plan is to stay somewhere around Cambridge as a base and move around from there in a rent a wreck. I may go up North in the second week if time permits to Yorkshire YAM etc.
