Ampleforth trip...

...planned for Friday. Van takes some sorting... water on board... have we got enough gas? Last run was up to Cumbria - Furness Abbey, Peel Island - end of August... didn't take in any cidermakers on that one. Cleared out all the cidermaking stuff last night, but have 3*30 litre fermenters in the garage yet (7,8&9) which is a bit cold to get fermemtation firmly underway now... could do with getting those into the kitchen...
Should have time for a run up to Cropton Brewery (Yorkshire Cider) and include a visit to the undercroft at Lastingham...
need to put the towing eyes onto current-use Panda though yet, so not much chance of making the 300 litre mark beforehand.
Came back with a good few apples yesterday - (42k - with still more on trees) which should see me up to 600 litres this year.
