Shirley & I are booked for Sat. & Sun., the idea being it would leave Sunday for a look around the local area.
We would consider booking the Friday or Monday night too, to make more of a weekend of it.

We will be travelling from Ingleby Barwick, looking at doing Morton (near Matlock) & Meriden (near NEC Birmingham) on the way down or back.

Maybe Travellodge would rebrand as 'BMW' for the night, which would of course make it perfect  :))

All works of cookies, more interest shown price goes up, I've booked groups on Easyjet flights for years, you'd think more interest the price would come down, but sadly works the other way.

Mike & Julie from Nantwich = 100 miles due South direct. Most probably wind down thru Shrewsbury & Hereford = 130.
