Betonov. Buy a rail card, the discounts it gives pays off straightaway.
Also buy rail tickets in advance, its a real rip off in Britain if you buy them at the station on the day.

Must be having a brain pump...who is Martin? :hmmm:

Come on over...you know it makes sense :sunny:

We were drinking real/proper ale before we populated the prison island with those of questionnable integrity :smug::O:

Yes but at room temperature or warmer.:O:

Hate to disappoint you but you won't find any Lone Star Stew over here :)

Essex is just south of here, I presume you'll be coming in at Stansted then?
Deal is a tad further from Essex than you'd think Betonov, you'd have to go through London to get there.
Likely you'd have to go, Deal to Charing Cross, then underground (Northern line to Embankment and then Circle line) to Liverpool Street where you can pick up the Stansted express that'll take you up to Tarjak. :yep:
After that, Tarjak could take the A140 across to Colchester, then the A12 up to my neck of the woods, and then back across to the A14 to Cambridge, then across to the A1 which'll take you north towards Leeds and York.

There is one slight niggle though, but I can deal with it. I get car sick, but I can combat it with dozing and wristbands. I've made a car journey to Wales via London before and back, so York shouldn't be a problem...I just apologise for any snoring... :oops:

Snoring eh? :hmmm:

You didn't share a room with him in Houston...I purchased ear defenders first thing on day two :o

I'll be staying in South Woodham Ferrers, but can pick you guys up from pretty much anywhere north of the Thames and towards the East of London so Standstead would be a good pick up spot if we decide on York.

You can sit up the front which usually lessens the impact of car sickness. Just make sure you can wind the window down before you barf :Kaleun_Sick:

Not if your driving skills are anything like those of Jeff :D

Let me drive.
Oberon should empty his stomach in the first 1 0 minutes and then its smooth sailing :)

Italian, eh?

Just remember to hire a limo, Grant, or Jim won't be able to find us. :03:

If you're at South Woodham, then perhaps we could meet at Ipswich? Betenov could get a train from Liverpool Street to Ipswich and I can get to Ipswich fairly easily. From South Woodham you'd hop on the A130 and then onto the A12 which'll take you into Ipswich...then admittedly you have the screwed up one way system that they implemented a few years back in order to get to the railway station. :hmmm:

Oberon, never imagine me driving without mud :03:

Like I said, don't worry about me. Just give me a location and I'll find my way there.
I like the Ipswitch idea. Tarjak can pick me and Oberon in one swoop. Much simpler for him

Sounds like a plan. So you'd be getting a South-Eastern train from Deal to Charing Cross, a Northern line underground train from Charing Cross to Embankment, changing at Embankment to the Circle Line, then taking that around to Liverpool Street where you can pick up a train to Ipswich. :up:
Hopefully the tube staff won't pick that day to go on strike. :dead:

Kinda like...

Ipswich is definitely doable for a pick up point. Looks like York is the venue then.

bring your notion sickness tablets. :D
