Jamie East Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Really want to go to this, but having probs with travel. Looking at trains it was going to be stupidly expensive, £90 ish quid return and a 5/6 hour journey. Car sharing would be probably be the best bet. Mods, If you decide to drive dont suppose you have a spare seat? I'll pay petrol money. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 £90 ish quid return If you've not got a railcard yet, if you buy a railcard that'll cost you £20, but it'll reduce your ticket price by about £30 so you'll end up saving money on this particular journey, and then in future too...

Would be cool to get up there on a cheap one for us southern lads. I'll have a look out for some deals. If anyone spots anything put a shout up here. Plus i think it would be awesome going up ina big group like that. Meeting new people and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
