Difficult choices No. 197

Two options for the Mayday weekend:

Either

A decent hotel in France with a communal dinner on the Saturday for the Les Nerviens competition;

OR

A tent in a field in Derbyshire with the prospect of a Sealed Knot disco in another tent.

So, which is it to be?

Well slap me with a lobster and call me Oliver, I doubt I'll get another chance to see a 17th century disco in this life, so it has to be Derby.

Put me on your list Paul. I baggs the winning side from Marston Moor.

PS Is it okay to bring a camper van?
