Thanks Tom the pub is a diamond Cliff is amazing 76 and two jobs I think the south new year meet will end up there We tried to have a fire on Sunday think Roly got man flu can you believe I have been living in Wales for 14 years and never gone down the big pit till this meet I now want to visit the heritage centre, the iron works and the brewery. I also would like to visit the caravan recycle centre that sells new bits as well and then ther is a battery dealer on that cold wet hill I think the ranger left us alone as we picked up all the rubbish each time we stayed in the car parks Forgot that Cliff is a stop on the steam train that runs in peak season mum would like that

Yeah Pen like you said Cliff at 76 is amazing. He runs that bar single handed all the time ( don't mean the meals and cooking) then after we all gone cleans the place up before he goes to bed. Next morning up with the larks down to his lorry business and where he does all the mechanics on his eight lorry's keeping them on the road. Then back home to the pub and he then starts again behind the bar. Yup what a geezer. Pen I don't know about the southern New Year bash being there has it will be a big division job. Last year we was all at Ribblehead and had a great New Years night. I was hoping it would be similar this year but obviously it will half the distance for a lot of people which will be a big benefit to those more southerly. For me Ribblehead is about 60 miles nearer so benefits me in that way, but the main reason I will be picking there is because it was so good last year. If anything happens and Ribblehead is cancelled this year I will be back down to Cliffs like a shot. Do you think Cliffs mum named him after the local landscape?. .... Tom ....

Not only does young Cliff do all the jobs Tom mentioned but on a Saturday he services all the running gear at the big pit and helps out with the local steam rallies as said what a guy and what a fantastic meet despite the weather.
