Public Transport to AR09
 

Those that know the area well...what's the easiest method on public transport to get to the campsite?

Is there a bus service that runs near?

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Can't you cycle?

;)

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

I did actually think that. Heck of a lot of kit to carry though. Nearest train station, Robert is your Mothers Brother.

EDIT: We have a winner :D

Northampton (NMP) to North Fambridge (NFA)

£45.90
Cheapest available fare
This total fare is for 1 Adult.



HAPPY DAYS :)

Not an easy place to get to completely by public transport I'm afraid. It's out in the sticks.

Nearest town of any significance is Maldon which has a fair bus service. Nearest town with a train station is Chelmsford.
But there will be people there with cars and possibly even pillion seats so get to one of the above (Maldon 5 miles away, Chelmsford 15 miles) there I'm sure can help you with the last leg of the journey.

Ooops nonly just clicked the link in you post - don't go there! SWF is a funny place

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Plowsie, just a thought..

Pack light. Get as close as you can, then get some kind .Orger to pick you up on their bike...

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Or pack loads and get someone in a car come to get you from the station, or 2 bikes. 1 for you and 1 for your gear.

I'll happily help out with the latter option mate :)

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Wouldn't want to put anyone under the stress of having me on the back. I'll get there :) missus reckons we'll have a car by next week. Still fancy public transport. Says there is a bus stop on the main road by the campsite.

If I don't go in the car I will train it to that place however weird it is and cycle the last 5 mile to the site :)

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

SWF? You are a brave man, my friend

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

why not do the rideout on your bicycle?:smt044

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

I'll race you all off the start :lol:

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Cmon share all, is it the kind of place where anyone would try and even rob me? 10 ish miles away there's another station.

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Lol no - not dangerous, just weird. Bit like that Little britain place something Vasey

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Nope lost me :lol:

You refer to it as SWF, that is North Fambridge right?

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

South Woodham Ferrers - I was there, very briefly to buy baby milk in Asda, last weekend. It's Essex chav central. I was both horrified and amused by the people there. It's not a place to visit unless you enjoy laughing at the bottom-feeders of society.

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Oops now got it, I must've accidently edited the wrong part and just re-typed the name in, the stop on the train is North Fambridge, is much closer to the site and is still the same price :)

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

You sure you were at SWF and not Basso? :lol:

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Thats the local place, Roysten Vasy, League of Gentlemen....once your there you never leave....mwhuauauauaaaahhhhhhaaaaaa:smt042

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Thats a shame to hear - its the place where the guy that named the streets was a big Lord of the Rings fan, isnt it?

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Althorne station is closer still !!

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Even better :D I'll pack heavy now then :)

Cheers Voxster :)

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Oh yeah, didn't know Althorne had a station! And I've checked it out with some locals, it's true!

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Sorted :)

I'm actually partially excited already :)

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

The speed you ride, he proabbly doesnt want to embarass you ;)

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

I lived in SWF for about 5 years and found nothing exceptionally chav about it... or league of gentlemen. It's mostly a commuter town filled with people who work in London.

:rolleyes:

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Ah OK. I've only ridden though it myself. I was basing my comments on what my students tell me. That'll learn me!

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

:laughat: now who would've though you'd been a teacher for years?! :rolleyes: lol


















*runs very, very fast and hides very, very well!!

Re: Public Transport to AR09
 

Not fast enough boy. You'll pay. Trust me, a teacher never forgets :smt045;)

Re: Public Transport to AR09

PS. Any torture turns me on :D
