Further to the above, if you’re intending to come to the BBQ only, you could find that there may not be many or any people there until the day trips have finished. So the start suggested above of “lunch time” may be a bit inacurate. Best guess as to the finish times of the day trips will be 2.00 to 3.00pm.
The actual location for the BBQ will be somewhere fairly close to the car park at end of the road, and should be easily spotted. We may have a flag or banner of some sort marking the spot.
Watch this space for any further developments.
