you will not hear any football moanings from us Welsh dudes! - We are supporting Germany now

Quote from cargame.nl :

OK, I know I'm a little late but I would like to join. Is that still possible?

I'm from The Netherlands and can catch a plane from Eindhoven or Weeze to London-Stansted

Yes you can still join, though you will need to arrange a lift from someone on here.

Just though I'd note here there is a possibility I don't show up now. It would appear my clutch is quickly going the way of Betamax, so my savings are currently earmarked for that. If I get some more cash to one side I'll do both. Else it is one less body on the list.

Mine and dans cars are already full from the stansted pickup, but since Arox has given me an address in Earls Court to be picked up from (Cockfosters was a compromise because I don't drive inner London) if one of the many people coming from London can grab him then I can pickup cargame.nl from Stansted which I'm picking up from anyway.

it would make a lot more sense, as I really don't want the hastle of going into London anyway.

I would offer but we are not sure what we are doing yet, maybe we're coming for Friday or maybe we'll get up early Saturday like last time.... hmmm...

Edit: Ohh Arox.... Maybe i'll test out my ejecto-seato on you....

It seems to be the biggest problem. Not a lot of people traveling from London I suppose.

If I see what Becky has to do already..

I would love to drive all the way but it simply is extraordinary expensive to get a car through the Tunnel and back... Or take a ferry.

Can't compete with Ryanair

theres a few travelling from london, But i dont think many are driving (or they have alternate plans).

I'm not going by coach anymore though, i just found a deal that gets me there and back by train for 20 quid (There being Newport / Cardiff)

Which was best for you in the end Jason?

Ummm, will have to ask Kayjay or Mark tonight, as they will be picking you up. What time do you arrive?

Which airport would that be? Heathrow?

Quote from jasonmatthews :

Looking at the train times it would be 17:04 or 17:31 (more likely 17:31) for newport. cardiff would obviously be slightly later.

@Cargame if you are planning on coming in on the Friday to stanstead, and still cannot get a lift from anybody and can get an early enough flight so that we can catch one of the above trains from central london i could escort you on the public transport systems as the trainline between stanstead - London is the same line i use to get into central london.

i dont think im taking anyone at the moment...

dont think turbo n johannes coming

so i believe im available xD

Bought some Sparco K-Run shoes and OMP Rush gloves from demon-tweeks.co.uk. They arrived pretty quickly, only ordered them on Saturday

Quote from BreadC :

so i believe im available xD

But Ryanair flies on Stansted, not on Heathrow.

Doesn't matter anyway.. If I book for Friday the arrival will be very early in the morning (07u), enough time to take a bus or train to another part of London which is more accessible.

But what is your own planning BreadC (Mark)?

And did Rudolfa already responded?

Rudy is Dutch also, and I know he lives in the neighborhood of me. Anything from him?

my own planning is....

friday im free all day... i can leave at anytime :P but was hoping around midday-2pm id say 3:30pm max

rudy not comingi dont think, dunno bout rudolfa

Midday is cool... Is there a more reachable spot, from the highway, for you?

And Sunday back?

same i not got anything to rush home for, but i wouldnt wanna leave at like 7am..

could say 10-11am or smth

Slow starter, staying up late... Relax approach.

Hhhmm sounds familiar

I didn't book anything yet. Might shift airports (Amsterdam Easyjet or Weeze Ryanair. Even Rotterdam is possible .. Choices choices).

But I will figure that out.

Morning flight on Friday
Evening flight on Sunday
... might even be Monday (will take a hotel then). I have no appointments on Monday so I want it as relaxing as possible

Hhhm right. I will sleep about it one more night, about this plan.

Hhmm OK but I would like to avoid public transport as much as possible.

I don't know the system in England but it's horrible here. Not on time, misses connections, VERY expensive. For one train ticket I can fill up my diesel tank for 600 miles while in a car you can also split up the fuel costs on top of that and save a lot.. And well.. Nah...

The only possible advantage is the possibility to meet nice chicks but I didn't visited England the last 15 years (last time was a schooltrip to London when I was a little boy :schwitz so I don't know the current situation about that roflol-smiley.

Annyywaayy we will see

I'm already at Stansted Friday morning picking up 2 more LFS'rs, but my car is full unless somebody else can do my London pickup. It saves me driving down to London and meens I can pickup cargame.nl direct from Stansted...

It makes more sense than cargame and me both doing extra trips into London.

what is ur london pickup? where bouts? coz im at j6 of m4

Earls Court, so he can easily get on the tube.

I was gonna say... You can get on the tube and end up as far out as Watford. Surely Earls Court is a tad impractical given its location.

OK, I leave the logistic thing to you, locals ...

But my name is Dave. A domain sounds like a 'thing' ... Yes I know I registered that way but well...

Anyway , Facebook also, might be handy; http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001071523542

I'm starting to enjoy this adventure already

one solution...

earls court to paddington.

then padington to slough..

depends how well they know the underground / rail service.

tfl site says bout 40 min journey
