I can't do the Friday as I will have to be at work (why are all our gatherings happening in the first week of a month? )
but ought to be available for the Sunday if people want to meet up again then.

Done that once at the 'BackPackers', but don't think I will againclvrlad wrote:i might just go the hostel approach though
Done that as an 18-19 year old - I'd prefer to do other things with my day, but it is the most cost effective way of simply 'getting there'.clvrlad wrote:ive just been looking and mega bus is offering £7 singles to london from newcastle
I'm a regular on www.thetrainline.com and at 3 months ahead you can often get a good deal. Got to say that £13.50 seems to be the cheapest from up here, and they are few and far between. £20 tickets last a little longer, then the next one is £26.gill216 wrote:I'm hoping on getting a cheap train fare (mbh- plan it right and £10 single is often up for grabs, cheaper than the petrol and faster than driving.)
Well........ I've been, and went, and gone, and done it!
Visited the station this morning with my printout in hand, and got a pair of tickets £26 each way. Normally I'd like to keep the train travel under £50, but you lot are worth it
After looking at the popular chain hotels that advertise very small prices I rang Premier Inn directly and complained that in and even around London I couldn't find these 'advertised' prices and it was more like £49 outside or £99 inside the capitol. She 'played' with the system and got me a couple of nights at Enfield Lock (about 13 miles outside the city, on a train route) for £29 each night
My morning train on the Friday was booked up (next cheapest ticket £35), so I've got the Friday here in Newcastle setting off just before 5pm to get down there shortly after 8pm. I can get a 3-day travel ticket for £21 to start on the Saturday, and that's me sorted for a weekend break.
Looking forward to seeing you all...

Re: 2010 Puzzlebrains Meet ideas
I think I'm sorted too I arrive in Kings cross at 15.40pm on Friday 6th.
I have a kindly offer of a bed for Friday & Saturday. I dont need to be in Colchester until whenever on Sunday, but if nothings happening on Sunday I can get there late Saturday night.
I'm awaiting advice on which travel card to buy for the weekend. (Oh! and which kind of wine would go down best )
See you all sonn.

Well, you could have a point there. Or possibly two.
