The process of working out what to publish next is starting to crystalise now and there is not doubt that having a plan does make things a great deal easier.
Having spent a couple of days visiting with David we did take the time out to do some planning and what we agreed on is that the next major pieces to publish would focus on Charlie’s “Bolton Wakes Week” holidays for 1923 and 1924. Bolton Wakes Week was at the end of June / early July and so we thought it would be good to publish these so that they cover broadly the same period, i.e. late June / early July. Arbitrarily I have decided to interleave these years with the entries for 1923 appearing on Sundays and the 1924 entries appearing on Thursdays.
This will leave a slight gap from the end of existing April Publishing schedule but we have found that Charlie’s Easter tour of 1923 seems to fit quite neatly into this gap.
So, the final schedule looks like this
- May 2 – Easter 1923, Bolton to Bala
- May 4 – Easter 1923, Bala to Bettws-y-coed
- May 6 – Easter 1923, Bettws-y-coed to Whitchurch
- May 8 – Easter 1923, Whitchurch to Bolton
- May 12 – Bolton Wakes Week 1923, Chester
- May 16 – Bolton Wakes Week 1924, Scarborough
- May 19 – Bolton Wakes Week 1923, Conway and the Sychnant Pass
- May 23 – Bolton Wakes Week 1924, Hayburn Wyke, Hackness and the Forge Valley
- May 26 – Bolton Wakes Week 1923, Nant Ffrancon and Glyder Fawr
- May 30 – Bolton Wakes Week 1924, Scarborough Head and the Yorkshire Wolds
- June 2 – Bolton Wakes Week 1923, Pont Aberglaslyn to Barmouth
- June 6 – Bolton Wakes Week 1924, Goathland Moors, Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay
- June 9 – Bolton Wakes Week 1923, Arthog and Penmaenpool
- June 13 – Bolton Wakes Week 1924, Castle Howard and Rievaulx Abbey
- June 16 – Bolton Wakes Week 1923, Aberdovey to Aberystwyth
- June 20 – Bolton Wakes Week 1924, York, Tadcaster, Leeds and Blackstone Edge
- June 23 – Bolton Wakes Week 1923, Tal-y-Llyn Pass
- June 30 – Bolton Wakes Week 1923, Vale of Edeyrnion and Llangollen
- July 7 – Bolton Wakes Week 1923, Langollen – Chester – Bolton
I can’t promise that it will all run smoothly – but at least we do have something for me to work to.
