    Ooops, cross posted.

    I'd love a Durham meet, it's somewhere else I've always wanted to visit but not got round to. Nearly went to uni there but then went manic and changed plans drastically.

    I think that we should all have a meet in Durham in the spring and incorporate Beamish for the daytime activities then Durham city for those wanting to stay into evening, Durham is so easy to get to 2 hours 45 mins from London and just over 2 hours from Edinburgh.........

    No excuses not to come then:D

    Sorry Lou, was it you with the fear of men in monkey suits? I'd forgotten about that.
