Where to next?

Yes, it's time for a little excitement - where will the next random Big Day Out take me? Will it be sonmewhere I can get there and back in a day? Will it be somewhere I can nip to on a whim, or will it require detailed planning? Will I know where it is? Random number generator set up, here goes...

Oooh, what were the chances of getting two places in a row on the same waterway? This is pretty much at the opposite end...


I've been there before - I've even boated through, on someone else's boat. I've helped out on a large Northwich trip boat with a PD2 in the vicinity. It has a university - I've been to a conference there. And I seem to recall being shown some pretty decent pubs off the beaten track when I first visited. I have a boaty contact in the area, which is good. It'll take around three hours to get there, so I think that just about makes it a day trip.

So although it might not be the most obvious choice for a Big Day Out, I'm sure this destination has plenty of interest to offer...
