lol SRS I can see the headlines in the Chronicle "GR meet thrown out of cemetery...."

But if you want to go over I am happy to tag along and grave hunt :) when I went last time I wasn't sure and didn't have much time but have a better idea of where grave is now, it's not marked so I needed to get my bearings better.

Don't worry Rose, didn't mean to put you on the spot. Misread earlier post lol.

Besides, I now have images of GR meet traipsing down to cemetery in an inebriated fashion, either sunburnt or drenched.

Hadn't especially planned to SRS, but only because I hadn't thought of it! lol

Would be a nice idea though :)) maybe after...depending on how early I get there really.

Can you still get a bus from the station to Chester centre? If you had a train ticket, didn't they run a free shuttle bus?

oooh Rose, is it in walking distance from the meet?

I've got family buried there albeit a long time ago. Not sure whether the gravestone still stands though but would like to visit.

I'm looking forward to next Sat. Is the venue close to the station? Planning to come by train as I will definately get lost if I drive. Does anyone want to meet at the station?
