Och there's a breeze in me sporran. Pics will have to wait till I get home. No way to put them up onto the inter webz till then.

Whilst you're up that way head over to Loch Ewe. Unlikely to be anything there unless there's an exercise on but still a nice place for remoteness and gorgeous scenery. And you can convince the wife to go as it's the most romantic place in the UK in the middle - the Isle of Ewe (say it). Takes a while to get there though.

Until even more recently he had a Mk. 26 Spit (I know, I know - still better than nothing) that was up for potential flights. Sadly for us he's even richer having flogged the both. Although now he's gone to the dark side with an R22 the price of 'fuel only' *cough* has gone up to £90 for 45 mins, which I think is beyond reasonable costs to us after travelling to the airfield too.

Still, frees up some time for drink or two.
That's a shame but in all honesty I only feel safe in a commercial airlines plane :)

@Betonov and Oberon. Gents can we meet at Chelmsford station on the Sunday morning at 09:30? Ipswich takes us a couple of hours added to the trip and we can get to York a bit Earlier off we go from Chelmsford.

Fine by me.
I got a 8:30AM from liverpool st. and will be in Chelmsford at 9:11
(according to scheudule)

Oberon 07-07-14 09:19 PM
I wouldn't be able to get to Chelmsford until at the earliest 10:30 I'm afraid.

TarJak 07-07-14 11:56 PM
OK let's go with Chelmsford station at 10:30 then.

Betonov 07-08-14 01:46 AM
No problem.
I'll either take a later train (9.30) or take the extra time to explore Chelmsford :)

Jimbuna 07-08-14 05:31 AM
Just put the coordinates for the Hotel into the SatNav (force of habit).

The distance is 80 mile and 1h 40mins so I'll be leaving at 10am allowing me a comfortable drive and arrival before noon.

Check-in isn't until 2pm so I'll be in the pub next door 'Old Grey Mare' with Mark if he arrives early enough.

What are you going to do with the other 59 minutes?

Right, I've done the timetables, and depending on how things go it'll either be 10:30 or 10:58, there's a pretty tight change at Colchester for the 10:30 arrival which could go sideways depending on how the trains are running, so the back-up train is the 10:58 arrival.

Have a coffee.
There has to be something in Chelmsford to occupy my time

On a Sunday?

You could count the number of stones in the track ballast I suppose... :hmmm:

Betonov 07-08-14 02:26 PM
Looking at the interwebz pictures, it looks pretty scenic :hmmm:

Betonov 07-08-14 03:37 PM
Oh bloody hell, how did I miss that UK power sockets are different from mainland Europe :/\\!!
