Originally a Yorkshire lad, (edge of Dales), but moved to Kent through job several years ago with no regrets.
No Martyn, not near Ravenshead, I live in Worksop, but I have worked around Ravenshead, so I know of it, nice area.
⇦ Hereford, Herefordshire. I bet theres not many who could point to it on the map ;O) Lol, Lisa or Mark, do any of you know where Clipstone is? I was brought up there, a mining village. All my family were in the mines.

Know it? I worked there for a short period of time. They have bright new cable TV network courtesy of myself and my mate Derek.
Lol, my father, brother, brother-in-law, uncles and cousins were all miners. Clipstone is now closed of course although my family still live at Clipstone or locally. Its a small world, I have a friend who lives 5 minutes away (also a caravanner) who is from Ollerton. He played for Rotherham during the 60's and was bought by Hereford United. He married a local girl and settled here. I forgot about the S.A.S. I suppose Hereford is more known for them now than the Hereford Bull or Bulmers Cider heheh. Mark, I was at Clumber Park in March as I find it easier to take the van when visiting my mother. She still thinks I'm a kid and expects me in by 10p.m. I was out one night with my wife, brother and cousin with their families at the Clipstone Miners Welfare Club having a bevvy when I got a call on my mobile. It was mother asking me if I knew what time it was, did I realise it was gone 10p.m. Jeeeezzzzz!

Yes it is a small world. I been to Hereford when I was the A, T, C, I stopped at the R, A, F bases. We went to the cider brewery some of us got a bit tipsy there which we got in trouble because we were only 14 years old. I also went in one of the scout helicopter at the bases as well. It was quite a hair razing time. We also went on a 17-mile walk around Hereford. .
We were at Clumber Park on the 29 marches for 4 nights.
Might see you at Clumber Park when we go and stay their next.
We know Clipstone and the surrounding area quite well.
Mark.
PS wife sort spelling out.

Hi - I live in God's wonderfull country where men are men and the sun always shines - you've guessed it south Wales with its marvelous rugby teams, fine ale, good food and beautiful countryside. Who needs to go abroad when there is all this on my doorstep.
Hi Graham - your qoute is more applicable to north and mid Wales - I did say south Wales. One thing I forgot to mention was that the Glamorgan cricket team have not been very well this season and also the loan of two star players to England to defeat the Australians. This should have been referred to as the England & Wales test side. South Wales is often referred to as the Mecca of the West.
