Hi
Gas St is in the Centre of B'ham & they should have no problem in getting there in a full day, and once there
they will have a vast choice of eating establishments (and night clubs on Broad st) and good, if a little noisy,
moorings, however if you need to be on the way back to lancashire by 4:00 then it is unlikely that you
would be able to meet them there, I would guess at something like 4-6 hours from the bottom of the 21 to
Factory Junction depending on how things go and how hard they work. On the other hand if they dont set off
till 10:00, and stop for lunch half way up the flight, then probably they would be best stopping either at
Malthouse or outside the BCLM for the night.
