six weeks meander

[gaggle]

20th july kids finish school and it means we can go on a three week cruise to whereever the will takes us and then take three weeks to return.

half say get off and leave the north west and the other half say stay local and go fishing ,camping ,drinking and spend time just doing nothing much but lounge around.

well have to wait and see.

any big events going off that are worth the cruise to ? or should i sail up the leeds liverpool where the best scenery is.

[Sir Nibble]

If I had that much time I would definately head further afield. You can "stay local" all year.

[Noah]

Yeah, go further afield while you've got the time. My extended spell of "not in permanent employment" may end soon so I will be restricted to hurried, two-night trips in west Lancs from the mooring.
