Sandie 53 Posted February 14, 2011 Jeez steve, hope your drivers will alternate , Plymouth up to workington, only a short run really, but you will pass some lovely countryside. Greyhound - this one has me concerned as well. I may end up being a part timer this tour - my knees cant take all those gear changes and body cant cope with lack of sleep at my age! BUT - we have to go where the promoters want us and within a limited time scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveEvans 248 Posted February 14, 2011 Jeez steve, hope your drivers will alternate , Plymouth up to workington, only a short run really, but you will pass some lovely countryside. It's a hike yes but in reality every other club in the PL has to do the same during the season. The saving grace is Plymouth is a straight drive home on motorway and as we are 2nd on the bill at Worky we don't expect to be on track until 8:30pm. It will be tough be we can make it happen.

P T Preece 262 Posted February 14, 2011 The saving grace is Plymouth is a straight drive home on motorway. You dont live here then, the motorways are a complete hassle at night, road works, diversions, low speed limits, good luck with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
