NW Traveller #5 @ Dovestone


Saturday the 26th of May is the date for the fifth NW Topper Traveller.

It's hosted by Dovestone Sailing Club, near Oldham.

Dovestone is just under 60 miles from Southport, and is expected to take about an hour and a half to get there. For those with GPS navigation the post code is OL3 7NE.

Starting time is 11:00, so expect to get there by 10:00 at the latest, expecting a briefing at 10:30, so that means starting off at 08:30 at the very latest!! The 30 minute gap is time to unload the boats, rig them and get changed.

For those of you that don't know Dovestone: Dovestone Sailing Club has sole use of the almost 100 acre reservoir at Greenfield near Oldham. It is set amid dramatic scenery in the PEAK DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK off the A635 Greenfield to Holmfirth Road, via Banks Lane. The Sailing Club is approximately half a mile from the Clarence Hotel at the junction of Chew Valley Road and Manchester Road Greenfield. See map.

Once again, safe journey to all Topper Sailors and Good Luck.
