Tanya our host may get the train from Rochdale rather than Victoria so there is no official meeting place ahead of getting off the train at Mytholmroyd. If Tanya goes from Rochdale, she will either see you on the platform there or at the Dusty Miller our first port of call.,
We envisage many people will go from Victoria, so you may wish to organise an informal meet up via the Spice app/website dashboard at Victoria Station either on the platform or at the Beer House at Victoria Station.
