Hi Ian, not sure who is coming besides you and Richard Gregory.

The people who are doing the hog roast butties have said they hope not too many miniatures come, as it can be a right faff making 3" scale butties!!

Bryn, about a couple of miles after New Mills the A6 passes under the railway, immediatly after the bridge turn left, very sharp turn! then follow the roan round - you won't miss it!

if you go under the bridge and reach a roundabout, turn back and hav another go.

Buxworth is on the B6062, which branches off the A6 between New Mills and Whaley Bridge.
If coming from the Stockport direction, the turn is a left one immediately after a skew railway bridge, and virtually doubles back on your original direction. Long vehicles may find it preferable to travel the 200 yards or so to the roundabout at the start of the Whaley & Chapel by-pass then return from here to the B6062 junction.

Obviously for those approaching from the South or East, the "marker" is the roundabout at the end of the by-pass, and the turn onto the B6062 is 200 yards beyond there on the right.

For those who navigate by their sat-navs, the postcode to enter is SK23 7NE. However if you are using Apple's new iphone 5 map application, you might be better entering "Dublin Airport"
