SAT 23
January at 11.30am - Bolton West
Services, Southbound
From the press this
month:
'A MOTORWAY service station
near Bolton that has been lampooned for its poor standards is to
undergo a major revamp. Bolton West services on the M61 has
been branded a "national disgrace" and the "worst motorway services
in Britain" by travellers who have been shocked by the dilapidated
facilities. The service station has been criticised for its
potholed car park, broken toilets and leaky ceiling. Now
Blackburn-based Euro Garages, which bought the site in June, is
working on a long-awaited redevelopment
strategy.'
Sounds like an ideal venue
for a caching event!
Well, we did have one here last year. This place should've been
flattened six months ago, and this event was going to be
celebrating the rebirth of this legendary establishment.
However, I'm kind of pleased it's still a grim old place, and in
even more need of knocking down than it was last
year!!
Meet on the Southbound side
of the services, on the Rivington side. Easy to attend on
foot - there's a public footpath straight through the service
station. Cars can whizz around on the bridge, too. It's
going to get really posh after the revamp
;)
'While no details of the
multi-million-pound revamp were being released until a planning
application is submitted within the next few weeks, it is believed
the proposals could include a Spar convenience store and a Subway
or a Greggs fast-food outlet.'
THIS CACHE
PAGE SHOULD BE TREATED AS A MERE NOTIFICATION THAT AN EVENT IS
OCCURRING HERE. IT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS A RECOMMENDATION TO
ATTEND! YOU'D BE BETTER OFF STAYING AT HOME AND SAVING YOUR
HARD-EARNED CASH!
