That makes more sense if it was something organised by someone living
in Yorkshire. I had gained the impression it was something organised
by someone more distant like yourself.

Still, there's lots of other nice places in Yorkshire it _could_ have
been held (I've walked through a good number of them :-)) so this
location was obviously of personal interest to someone.

Thanks for the above info, Randy.

Simon.
