I'm also in for sure Thersa. Coming down by train afternoon time just to make sure I arrive on time. Where are people meeting up if a wee bit early?

Definitely in for me + Anita, booked a place at the travelodge.

Me, Ben and Kip all arriving!

Depends how early? I usually get there around 4pm ish and usually head up to the Ibis and Rob's place to see who's around.
I usually end up meeting up with Matt and go to Robs to get a quick couple of pints of Peroni in

Thanks Theresa. Haven't really been in this neck of the woods before. Nearly not going to make it. Our son was rushed to hospital a wee while back & it was very serious. It could have went either way, he pulled through, but the stress showed on both my wife & myself. My colitis flared up, then I landed in hospital. A couple of days ago I got the all clear with an endoscopy, not a pleasant experience all round, but at least I saw things for myself. So there we have it. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

I'm booked into the Cornerhouse by the way.

Jimboy. If I could've found last-minute coop safe luxury accommodation in the area you'd have been assured terrible company early on as well as an Electric Blue guide southbound. Hope luck turns your way and all pans out well. Take care matey and remember, no kissing the other coopsters.

Thanks Barney. As you know I'm a half glass full type of guy, but hey ho things happen. Our paths will meet again, as for the kissing, lets see what's on offer......

it had said "(maybe)"........

Mario/nismo, can you confirm yet?

Need to know asap please

Take us both off the list as I can't say yes/no at the moment .

'Hello'!!

Sorry- this is me confirming!!

I've just booked my train ticket from Great Malvern to Carlisle, £19.00 so I assume for that price I'll be sitting on the roof

Ah that'll be the Corbyn express

Sitting on the roof? You'll be at the back, mate, pushing.

Ed, DG, Paulie3, Jimboy either of you guys heading down in the coupes on Saturday?

I'm going by train Rosso. Hope the rail will be fine & bad weather free. See you all there.

Yep Brian me and the lads are meeting up at the fuel station at M74 J13 around 4.00, maybe just before.....

Think we did that last year in the pouring rain?

Fancy joining in?

Not sure what time Paul's leaving, DG may get a lift with him but if not will get the train down ......and back in the evening

I had sort of been thinking of getting down to Carlisle earlish or at least in the daylight. So possibly no leaving no later than 2. Is that too early for you Simon?

Ok I'll speak to the lads who are coming from Falkirk and meeting me at aforesaid....also depends a bit if I'm giving DG a lift.

Don't change your plans just for us amigos

That be great Simon.

Im awaiting our friends with the energy green coupe so could be a wee convoy down and hopefully a nice cool crisp dry drive

What time will it be dark in Carlisle? Back of 4?

Sunset 1547, so dark about 1620......

From the other direction - I'll be coming up from Cambridge area, but will be in the coupe only if the weather is good... I had planned to use the coupe and it was wearing winter tyres but I had to spend an hour last night putting them on the Bravo instead, so if it's forecast like last year it'll be the Bravo.

No time as yet set, but Anita will be just back from Forn Parts and therefore a couple of hours jetlagged, so it's unlikely to be before noon
