Title: Buxton
Post by: Mrs Warbouys on July 07, 2014, 12:12:52 PM
Might nip up the hill tomorrow if I get away from work in time. Buxton look to be putting a decent side together so it should provide a good work out.I think this is our first visit to silverlands in getting on 20 years, a 0-0 preseason draw if I remember correctly, and we took a coach, in midweek!

By my reckoning, the last occasion on which we undertook altitude training in Derbyshire was 12th August 1993.

And your memory serves you well, as it was, indeed, a goalless draw.

I definitely wasn't at this game though.  http://www.buxtonadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/dickie-bird-recalls-when-snow-stopped-play-in-buxton-1-3493083

If you do get away in time, do you think you would be heading past the road of everybody's favourite one-legged photographer?

Considering as I have to pass your house to get off the reservation I'd say its a knocking bet, I'll text you in a bit if in looking good to go, I'd say about 18:00 departure ish
