Added a few more

Tried adding them and lots more to the map but was disallowed as i didn't have photos and google links weren't acceptable.

Yeah, you can have a chat with him if ya like ... If you're happy to stay on the carpark I'm sure he'll not mind anyway. When are you going ? I drive past twice every weekday cos I only work round the corner, I'll pop in and say hello if you like

Hi Ian
We will be heading up to the Duke of York on Friday evening, I have to drive up from Northants, drop the kids off in Waterfall (nr Leek) and then drive up to Flagg. If your are passing around 8pm drop in and have a drink with us. I,m not sure where we will head to on Saturday, probably around Buxton or Matlock, any suggestions??????? Ideally a nice walk and some shopping for Ruth.

happy camping
