Only a few days to go now and the first week's itinerary is taking shape:
.
Sunday 27th, after the launch at Loughborough's Carillon Team Carillon will start to make their way up to Aberdeen. After an overnight stay in NW England on the Sunday, Team Carillon will set out early on Monday 28th for the long drive North - approx 340 miles - thankfully we can all share the driving!

hello this is an amazing coincidence.
I have not been in the UK for many years but tonight in the jungles of Honduras I thought about church bells. I am the grandson of Edith and perchance thought to look for the carillon that my Grandpa gave to Newcastle as a memorial to my Granny Adamson.
I did visit the carillon about 0 years ago and it needed some TLC.
I hope you find it in good order!
