Cool but what’s wrong with a good old grid reference.
Anyway how do you know what the 3 words are.
Count me in @kvetner👍

Sorry. I’m on 6-2 next Sunday but keep me informed of future events and I look forward to some great pictures, video and stories.
No problem!
I went to Anglezarke for a recce this morning. There was nobody else at the east side viewpoint while I was there (7-7.30am), just a couple of cars slowing down curious as to what I was up to. On the west side, the open space is on the edge of a field, there were some curious cows but nobody else around. Parking to access the footpath is on the road along the reservoir dam.
I also went up to Rivington afterwards, where I flew from the open access land just above the Pigeon Tower.
I had quite a few issues with wind, so we’ll need to keep an eye on the weather forecast.
Well for the moment the weather looks reasonable

I could meet at the border and cause a distraction with a swarm of drones while you seek across. 
That would be appreciated 
Make sure you bring your Passport Mick !.

No mention of an all day breakfast 
yet.
Fingers crossed there will be somewhere cheap nearby
Thinking about it. Have to camp the night before though. It’s 3 hours away for me.
There are quite a few tea room places at Rivington just a few minutes drive away, some of these do all-day breakfasts, I’ve not been to any myself, so I’d suggest that a local gives a recommendation.
For those with a decent level of fitness and who can cope with eating later, I think right after the reservoir I’ll take a walk up through Rivington country park to either Rivington Pike or the Pigeon Tower - the moorland up here is Open Access Land so has very few restrictions on activities once within its boundaries. Subject to wind conditions on the day!
Any thoughts on time yet?
Tea room? That sounds a bit posh for me.
Will shout out to @sparkman999 am sure he will know a local dive for an all day breakfast
Might have to miss out on the walk after, washing me hair
Cheers

I’m suggesting 7am at the reservoir viewpoint as it’s a popular spot for people to stop, but should be quiet enough if we’re that early - it certainly was last Sunday, when I had a look.
For people who can’t get there that early, I’m suggesting 8.30-9am on the other side of the reservoir, as that’s a public footpath which is less well used by the public. However, that footpath runs through a field with livestock so we need to minimise disturbance (also: wellies or walking boots needed, parts of the footpath are a bit muddy).
Another option is to fly from the west side of Yarrow Reservoir (which is also a public footpath), there’s some roadside parking or we can walk up a reasonably short path from the road along Anglezarke reservoir dam. This one has the advantage that there shouldn’t be any cows, but I’ve not recce’d it.
For either of the second two spots, you can park here.
