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?

great- am sure camper van will be fine-i will confirm. Although b and b option still exists if you are feeling decadent. Am going to change them to Wars of religion to keep things linked to the weekends on field activities with the SK-hope thats ok. If you email me paul@navigatorpr.com i will confirm whats needed re camper van
