Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

Booked my train tickets about a week ago for myself and the weeman, arriving in Abergavenny just after 5pm.

Im planning on booking my tickets this friday.

Will see if i can get something to arrive the same sort of time (saves somebody a trip..)

Jason, as discussed can you add Gary to the list please? - He is really keen on going!

Woohoo! Getting close to Kart date now

I just hope the weather is as good as last year!

Looking forward to it aswell

I am currently suffering severe man flu, but will post more when I am better

Aw I feel sorry to hear that, get well soon.

Ok feeling a bit better today (at last!).

I will need the rest of the money asap. So I need in total £45. This means if you have already paid your deposit of £10, then I need another £35. Please send as a gift as always

For those that have paid more than £45, I will sort the balance out at the kart meet.

Only when I get all the money in do I know for sure how many places are left.

I need the money now as it takes around a week to go from my paypal to my bank account then I have to take the money out over a few days then pay it to the karting centre 1 week before the event.

FYI, I am working like a bar steward every day I am off work to finish my lounge and dining room, and am currently covered in paint as I type. I should be starting to lay the wooden floor tomorrow.

I think I'm going to have to give Boothy back his deposit and drop out. I still have no work, coming up for 8 months after leaving Uni, so I have less cash than BP at the moment. Sorry.

money sent, should be £70

Makes sense, for the record myself and the little brother arrive in Abergavveny at 17:01 and we're cool to wait if it saves someone making the trip out.

@ Jason - Will get the money transferred tonight for both myself and Keith.



This time...I bringing some sun cream.

Well before you drop out, let's see if any of the people who paid £55 instead of £45 are willing to chip in

Nah it's fine its all the other costs I can't meet either, so its better I totally drop from it.

Is it just me or have train fares Litterally doubled this year. (last year i got a train from Cardiff to Abergavveny for £4.50 each way... This year its £10.60 each way!).

I'm going to cheat though and get the coach to Newport instead, from there the trains only £6.70 each way

Assuming i am able to walk from Newport bus station to Newport train station (according to google i can do it in 7 - 11 minutes) within the 14 minute time window (hoping the coach is on time or early!) then i should be at Abergavveny for 16:53 and will wait till your train comes in for the whole 7 odd minutes. If i do miss it then the next train would get me to Abergavveny at 17:23 so its only upto 25 minutes wait either way.

Sorry to interrupt you, but I would NOT walk whilst trusting on google maps it's calculated walking times.

It once told me I could walk in 17 minutes to a place, took me 31 minutes.

Not at the expence of my Irn-Bru, however if he where to offer his own suitcase then I'm sure the weeman can lug it around the place...

Yes but i can walk faster than a snail and when i have used it in the past i have been faster than googles times.

Ok,

And no I don't walk like a snail, was just bigger walk then expected.


And after re-trying the route with Google Maps it now indeed says 37 minutes. Previous year when I used it, it said way less.

It still says £55 in the first post, btw.

Fixed

Paid. I plan to bring a tent and pitch it in a corner of your garden, and create my own fortress into which nobody will be allowed.
