Mark and Ian's Big Day Out.

Next Sunday is the Joy of Six when Mark will be putting on "Austerlitz".  Traditionally, we wend our way to the show on the Saturday via war-games/military themed points of interest before hitting the centre of Sheffield.  Memorable visits have included Bosworth, the Armouries, Imperial War Museum and Caliver bookshop.

This year we are leaving early on Sunday morning and doing the show in one day.  However, we thought it might be a good idea to see what we could get up to in this area and save the money on a hotel.  The following is our current list of objectives.

Western Approaches Museum, Liverpool

A suitably refined establishment for breakfast.

Fort Perch Rock. 

The U-boat at Birkenhead - although their flimsy basing technique might be in danger with a visit from Mark!

The Cheshire Regimental Museum.

The city walls of Chester, which may include a beer or two!

A curry/BBQ may well complete the day with the blue ray version of Zulu for evening entertainment.  The superb 1971 and 12 days will also be on the menu or do we watch Waterloo to get us in the mood for Austerlitz?

Other objectives may get included but I must admit I'm looking forward to next weekend!
