INSIDE THE WORLD OF MEETUP

  I'd not had a big night out for a few weeks. Due to the massive increase in taxi fares from the airport it's more cost effective to stay in the cheapest hotel. Unfortunately it's usually booked up solid, thankfully this time I managed to get in. Beeston social was a restaurant, pub and games room all thrown into one venue. Nice place and made a bit of a welcome change from the usual city center. Caught up with some old faces and generally had a reasonable night. Some were heading into town after midnight but I'd run out of steam by that point.

  We met in the Forge mill tea room where the others had a breakfast meetup that I didn't attend.  We headed towards Bestwood colliery, there was a good turnout and the weather was fine for the time of year. I'd not been on many of these walks lately because many of them were now on Sundays where the transport. I'd also got to the point where many of the walks were repeats. It was a flat walk that finished with a lap of Mill lakes.
