Birmingham Mini Tourney Sunday 2nd September

http://www.lfgss.com/thread92184.html#post3095098

Too soon after the excess of LO (and I have a pesky christening to attend) for me, I'm afraid. Plus I hope to be slightly too hung over after my birthday on Saturday...

List!
1. Mancunian Candidates (Ben, Em, Sal)

Need to make sure I have money but how do we intend to get there?

First train of the day gets there 9:58. Not quite early enough for a 10am start.

Emyr

£?

£32.90 return. If it's all on time, I reckon we can be on court 10:15.

Can you get a car+fuel for less than £50 if it's just you and me? (My ticket is for £21) How are you getting there Ben?

Also, Tim mentioned he might be heading down from MCR Sunday morning, worth checking if he wants to share the car on the way down.

Emyr

Ah, Tim Warin. He's from Bristol really.

Just asked about lifts so we can be at court on time (and save some £).

I don't have a car unfortunately. I may even reconsider coming to Manchester if it's going to be that tricky!

Right. I'm not sure what Ben's planning. If he's making his way from Hebden Bridge that leaves 3 of us and we *should* fit on that train. I live near the station and I can pop in Saturday to book our bike reservations. Alternatively I can stick my wheels on my bag and pull the “This is luggage, not a bike” trick. (Worked on the way back from London!)

Ben, if you're coming via Manchester, or have any other suggestions, let us know!

Worst case, we'll have to hire a car for the day. That shouldn't come much worse than 3 tickets.

OK dokey I have managed to blag a car for the day but would be setting off direct from HB if I can, if I had to come by to get you guys I would have to leave super early. Lift back is ok though. let me know your thoughts guys?

Emyr

The 8:30 train to Brum is still an option but depending which route you were planning we could meet you near the M60, Eccles/Stretford/Stockport? No trains to Hebden before 9am.

Harmeen
Harmeen's picture

yeah I'd be going M62 - M60 south (past stockport :->) M56 - M6...... I'll have a look at times etc to make it for 9:45 eta

Harmeen

can you guy's get to stockport (near M-way junction) for 8 am??

Emyr

Ok, other option is Me and Sal go down Saturday night, train would be £8 to arrive 11pm or £12 to arrive earlier, but I'd rather stay in my own bed TBH!

I put post on LFGSS for tim to grab a lift if he wants to hook with you guys for 8am collection??

Emyr

Cool, easiest place to meet is probably at the Staples/PetsAtHome near the Pyramid, anywhere else is likely to be one-way-systems or too far off the M-way.

Awesome! Cheers, Ben.

Decathlon by the pyramid is easy to get to from J1 for pick up.

Emyr

Yeah, same Junction but Staples is closer.
