ubassman Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Anyone planning on doing a trip between Portsmouth and London or even up to Bakewell, Derbyshire in the next few weeks?. One of the coolest people on BC , Mr Jim Ryan (who started the BC Bass Relay) has a Bass for my daughter - want to surprise her with it for Christmas and need to get it up North to Derbyshire where we live. Jim lives in Portsmouth . I could also pick it from the Kingston on Thames area of London or meet up in Derbyshire Nottinghamshire if that makes things do-able. Anyone able to help here?
