Any ideas for tomorrow? Max 2 hour drive.

Old people x 2, want a day out. Not terribly mobile but could walk a mile or so.

They loved Skipton, well, one did, the other wouldnt be happy anywhere due to a naturally miserable personality but we ignore her miserable essential and dairy on regardless.

+1 Tatton or chester, depending on taste/distance. Tatton may be a bit much walking?

40's weekend sounds ideal. I'd give that a whizz. Or try West Kirby/Park Gate for Beach . RSPB at Burton Mere optional if they like their wildlife. The first hide is next to the car park, comfortable and Spoonbills are present (with loads of other resident stuff). It's 45 mins from West Manc. Then either a walk around the marine lake in West Kirby followed by fish and chips or a stroll in Park Gate avec obligatory Ice Cream.

Don't go to Tatton, Geronimo is on. If the grumpy one isn't into Mr Bloom and twenty thousand kids - sugared up off their tits, it may send her over the edge. Was there today. Lots and lots of queues - even just getting into the place.

Second Burton mere.
We took the out laws a few weeks ago and they aren't very mobile.
There is plenty of seating in the main visitor centre. You can borrow binoculars.
Marsh harriers, hobby, egret, avocet, ducklings, goslings. etc.

They want to go to Llandudno... They're not even dressed yet, will need breakfast cooking first, looked like a traffic jam sort of day for us then.

A55 queue to Wales here we come.
