UK Meet II - The revenge of the lens

[Rob]

I would love to go to a meet up but traveling will most likely be a problem, september's 4ish months away so we shall see... and plenty of time to get to know you all

Manchester to London isn't a problem like Louisiana to London is!!! Come along, we don't bite and the cheese is always impressive. Hope you like pubs!

i was looking for some prices on tickets today, i cant believe the taxes are worth more then the ticket itself. Thats just crazy.

Anyone there who lives between Cornwall and London somewhere on the way?
Anyone on that stretch who would like to offer me accomodation for a night or two between Monday, 28 August, and Saturday, 2 September?

 

[PlasticSpanner]

Corinna, I have a tent you could borrow................

Photopia, I'll probably be on the Manchester-Euston train again this time now I figured out London transport! Drop me a line nearer the time if you or anyone else wants to travel down together. :thumbup:

 

[LaFoto]

No TENT! I could bring a tent myself if I wanted to (actually: that even might be an option... :scratch: !?!?!?), but maybe someone's home is nicer?

For there might be a chance I go to a meet-up with people from the other forum I go to on the Bank Holiday Weekend in August --- but where do I go and what do I do in the days inbetween that 3-day event (each day hiking in Cornwall, sounds really enticing!) and the TPF meet-up? I am seriously asking now. Honestly.

ok I already knwo that I have an exam in maths on 28 August but... I'll know on the 21 of June if I need to write it or not... so... keep the fingers crossed

I'm an hour out of London on the way (sort of) to Cornwall, but still about 4 hours from there, but I'm planning on being in Germany or France or somewhere like that at that time.

I don't think there's anyone on here from the west country, of course I could be wrong.

You could always fly from Stansted to Newquay or Exeter, I think easyjet go that way.

If plans change, then you would be more than welcome at our house.

yep you are wrong ...... im in Devon...... but corinna, unfortunately i can't offer accommodation at the moment because of my personal situation, sorry..... but i can tell you there are alot of B&B's in devon and cornwall, which can be as little as 20 pounds per night..... plus travel lodges are fairly cheap in certain areas of the westcountry.

 

[nitefly]

Devon! That's where we should go I love it in Devon.

 

[cbay]

Its too far though, London is great anyhow!

 

[nitefly]

Watch out for cBay people, his ego is out to get you!

Right, just to re-iterate:

This meetup WILL be happening in LONDON on SEPTEMBER 2nd and 3rd.

Those travelling from abroad, or staying overnight please contact me for accommodation options/details.

If anyone needs a floor to crash on because of budget restraints, my place is big enough for, well, all of you!!

Formal accommodation will be arranged a short distance from the city centre (15-20mins from Z1) in a place where we can all go for a reasonably priced drink/meal together. I'm going to canvas for budgetary requirements and I'll research and find a suitable option, whether it be B&B or 5* Hotel.

There will be a loose itinerary which will be subject to change, but I'll work with Hertz and Lensmeister to make a walking/bussing/tube route which covers the "proper" sights and a couple of unusual ones as well.

Who's coming:
Lensmeister - Saturday.
LaFoto - Most likely
Hertz - Hopefully
doenoe - Hopefully
MommyOf4Boys - Subject to flights, hotels, and family.
tempra - Subject to family commitments.
Archangel - Probably
PlasticSpanner - Definitely
nitefly - Hopefully
Rob - Definitely
Duncanp - Probably
lostprophet - Definitely
Mentos - Hopefully
bigfatbadger - Hopefully
Simon - Probably
fate - Possibly
Ian_W - Hopefully
