Manchester way?
Hello all, due to the upcoming train strikes I will be finding myself at a loose end. I need to drive my eldest and a mate up to Manchester to go to a gig, leaving me with an opportunity for a cheeky short overnighter. Does anyone have any recommendations for a shortish pootle overnighter in the local area, happy to drive to the peaks. Any ideas welcome, ta, Rob.

Rivvy is my local area ( 15 miles north of centre manc).Happy to provide details
Peaks are nicer and steeper

Hello Lazarus, please do. Leaning toward the peaks, but open to any ideas.

Re: Manchester way?
Hello, I’ve only just seen this, sorry I didn’t reply sooner. Unfortunately that weekend I got struck down by an absolutely horrendous virus. My wife took my lad and stayed in a very posh hotel instead. I intend to go this year instead. The route looks just my kind of trip, cheers!
