Tony,

Buggy won't be ready  but if it's ok I'll still be coming to the hospital to day hello and support the event, if that's ok.
If there's a spare passenger seat for the cruise in someone buggy that would be ace too

See you sat

Dav

No probs at all mate.   We will be there around 11 ish and the cruise into the Centre of Manchester will be 12:30 ish. I am sure there will be a seat or two going so come and join us.  Parking in your daily ... couple of options 1) the main Hathersage Road multi story ..... bit expensive though or 2) you can park if there is a space on Oxford Road or Upper Brooke Street ( I would go for the latter as there are more options).   Look forward to seeing you again.

If there are any more for VWNW can you let me know .... I did speak to them and they may be able to get a couple more of us in but I will have to contact them very soon.  For the hospital not an issue though I do need to drop them a mail tomorrow to give them an idea of how much space we will need.   Thanks everyone.

So some directions


Those staying in Crowden.....

Crowden is a very small village (blink and you can miss it) on the A628 Woodhead pass - the road linking Manchester with Sheffield and Barnsley.

From the Manchester side its the second turning on your left where you will see a large black and white shevron sign on a sharp bend.  There are only two turnings into Crowden and if you miss them its not the easiest road to do a U turn on.  So I suggest the moment you see the Crowden sign slow down!

When you turn into Crowden you will see signs for the Camping / Caravan site.... you dont want that    Follow the sign for the YHA.   You will have to go through a metal farm gate and down a roughly made road.    Make sure you shut the gate as there are lots of sheep.   Follow that and you will see a quite new building and you are there.

If you are coming from the Barnsley  / Sheffield side... again take it easy when you see the Crowden sign and it will be first on your right.  If you miss it you have a second chance    I would take that and do a U turn


For Manchester Childrens Hospital there is a map on this link  http://www.cmft.nhs.uk/childrens-hospitals.aspx


I will have a map again for the lunch time cruise.

We have the same health and saftey things to observe as always.  So when you arrive you may be asked to park in a "hot" area to allow the buggies to cool down.  We dont want any kids getting burnt on hot exhausts.    We will also have cardboard to put under they buggies to prevent oil leaks marking the floor.   This is because the building is a PFI and not owned by the hospital - so the Hospital would be charged for any cleaning needed and again we dont want kids slipping on oil.

Angela from the charity will give a briefing and is happy to explain more about the hospital to anyone who is interested.   There are near by shops (both in and out of the hospital) if you want a drink / food.  All we ask is if you are parked by the enterance can you stay with your buggy and if you want to go for food please do it when you are parked in the hot zone.

I am not sure if the kids will be given the opportunity for rides in the buggies.   This will be a las min thing I am afraid as there is still red tape to be sorted.  I think we may be able to do this but they will have to sign a waver form to ensure the hospital have no liability.

I know for anyone new this sounds hard work but in reality its easy.  This is a fully operational hospital so we do have to stick to the rules and hopefully security this year will not call the police 

We are with Krug now getting ready to drive over to the RMCH 

Tony, and all of you 

Have an absolubtly fantastic time up there, the YHA sounds brilliant 

Hopefully you will have 'the weather' and all will be brilliant.

Wish I could be there, next year though... 

Peter 

enjoy yourselves busy dog sitting here for the weekend and catching up on outstanding jobs.
