With the 2018 season over, our thoughts turn to what we might do in 2019. Possibilities on the table so far.....
- During the past season, we heard suggestions that there may be a BCF Mission in Northampton in June. We also heard that there was to be an IWA Festival in Waltham Abbey in the Lee & Stort area - we could get to this after the mission. 2019 is also the centenary of the official "naming" of the "Merchant Navy" by King George in recognition of their work during WW1 so the annual parade at Tower Hill could be on the cards after that.
- We could revisit our original plans of 2018 - Shroppie to Chester, Middlewich Branch then explore that River Weaver, before heading north for western Leeds & Liverpool, Ribble Link, and Lancaster Canal.
- We could do the eastern L&L, possibly expanding that.
Update 22 Nov - We have recently heard that the Mission has been called off, so we will probably not be going south. The map has been updated to show the (currently) most probable route
