Ok I dont know if thats going to work but the details are there based on a return ticket Barnsley to York

Aye that seems ok to be fair. £20 return... An hour trip. If I were to come on the train would I be ok for a lift from there?

Cheeeeeeers.



p.s. How are trains with bikes these days?

yo nick - working on conference today, will give you a call at lunchtime if I've got a few mins spare. I'd be able to pick you up from york station as it's only 1.5 miles from my house. Only thing is how you're getting home? Were you planning on camping? If so is there room for you on the way back?

If you're not camping you could always come back with me & I can drop you off at the trainstation.. Bikes on trains, as long as you ride slowly through the carriage I can't imagine them being too fussy

Ahhh. At that rate I might just do a day trip. So aye, should all be cool. What time are you planning on setting off at from your house/train station?

We all arrive at Pauls in time for a 10am bacon butty and then set off to the campsite in convoy, Rob and tom in the alpha me and YC in the merc(I wanna pick his brains about relays and HID kits). Nick and Paul in the shaggin waggin. Gets us at the campsite before 11 then onto Dalby for 11.30/12 to meet Mike and ride the shiz outta that forest.


Any questions?

Looks like the west yorkshire section are planning to arrive at york around 10 - I'd like to have bacon ready for when everyone arrives = less messing around, scoff food, quickly clean up, then hoof it to dalby (about 1 hr to campsite from my gaff).

With that in mind, the 8:12am train from barnsley to York (arriving at 9:30) seems the best train to give us time to get you picked up through hellish york traffic, back home and bacon on the burner

howsat?

You might have to hang fire on that - I heard about the time when nick went to barcelona & it all went a bit wonky he's never been the same since apparently

Hmmmm. Somethings happened id rather forget about thats for sure ha ha. If only I could have gotten some of the topless ladies to come inspect my bed sheets... that would have made for better memories!


p.s. Reception in work is shocking! If you really want to talk to me then best to phone about 5:30. Though we might not need to I guess?

[Paul the 6th]

no worries nick - I can ring after conference has finished buddy (after 5.30 if you want)..

Can't remember what lee told me exactly but I remember him saying you were absolutely blasted and that you've not been a big drinker ever since he was in hysterics when he told me anywho lol..

No worries mate, will drop you a postcode for my house with a suggested route to get to me...

Love it when a plan comes together
