    Hi
    Apologies, but I haven't had time to plan a route where to go this Sunday. Very much depends on who turns up and what the feeling is for where to go, I hope that that is alright. There will inevitably be a coffee stop somewhere and that is likely to be Peaslake or Devils Punchbowl or Frensham.
