Anyone riding over from Leeds today?

I cycled to work, so I'll be riding home tonight.

Just noticed that Alpkit will have a stand in the trade area.

Not only does this mean that I may well be on site on Sunday, but it also means that this quarter's bonus will probably disappear down the dunny in fairly short order.

Bugger.

I shall be leaving work in about ½hour and then heading home to load up.

Getting the bike in the back of the car may be 'fun'.... $:-\$

It would - but the costs would be prohibitive. The cheapest rail ticket is £70 - it'll cost me about £20 in diesel...

Not a bad run up the A1 these days now all the roundabouts have gone either.

Yep - though my SatNav still thought they were all there, last time I dorve up...

I quite like the A1 as a road.

To be fair, if I'd been able to confirm my attendance before the beginning of this week, I could have got rail tickets for not much more than the cost of coming by car. Unfortunately, circumstances conspired to make my decision to attend somewhat last minute....

Passport... check
Babelfish inserted... check
Flatcap donned... check
Whippet in the boot... check
Overwhelming sense of superiority adopted... check
Chips installed on both shoulders... check

Looks like I'm ready for a trip to Yorkshire.

You're going in plain clothes then?

Regulator · « **Reply #191 on:** 24 June, 2011, 03:14:34 pm »

Currently parked on A14. Traffic at complete standstill, engines off and people wandering around. Looks as though it could be a long wait. $:-\$

Kim · « **Reply #192 on:** 24 June, 2011, 03:23:28 pm »

About to set off to Mordor Central. Seriously hoping this train leaves from platform 9 as intended, because there's no way in hell I'm lugging all this kit down the stairs.

A14 closed Westbound between J24 and J23 due to an incident. Not expected to reopen until 4:30 so if you can get off the A14 and go around then I would Gregg.

Unfortunately I'm stuck between two junctions. We've down less than a mile in two hours...

Abandon the car, get the bike out the back and start pedalling. Can lend you a tent etc when you get here.

Can someone book me a car camping pitch please? I'll pay you back when I get there.
