Hows about putting up a list of maybes and definates on the first page lea? Also, the date and venue so people know rather than looking through this whole thread?
I would have to come down on the Friday though and find somewhere to stay as I can't travel for 7 hours on one day. It would tire me out. Hmmm, I know I few people that live in York (seeing as I have to get through York to get to Newcastle)....I wonder if they would let me stay over for a night :chin: :razz:
I'm considering going on a £35 rover Via Carlisle, not decided yet.
not too far, well it is, but the metro rail link goes direct from the airport into the centre of town
It's about half an hour on a direct metro link, like MrG said, 'tis no bother at all really (so you should definitely come ).
You might be able to get really cheap flights, too, I'm going to Belfast next weekend for £15 return - woo.
Be fab to meet yas as this sounds like an interesting meet and I love Newcastle so even better, wahey. hehe
NEWCASTLE dep 20:46
YORK arr 21:50
(Great Northern Eastern Railway)
YORK dep 21:58
MANCHESTER PICCADILLY arr 23:25
(FirstGroup-Keolis TransPennine Express)
id get the second one
ok, i'll take another approach and bear with me on this one...does anyone know of any fairly secluded places my car would be safe and perhaps i could sleep off my alcohol consumption in the car and drive home in the morning? hah i know it sounds weird...but i'd have a do
i could suggest some fairly secluded places, but you dunno who else hangs around in fairly secluded places in newcastle at that time of night
i was thinking more of the "cruising type"
im sure i could entertain them after a skinfull haha
I miss going to newcastle lots - sob sob
Ohh but I can get 2 single tickets for £20 (the cheapest return was £94...) its kind of tempting....
I know a few, or you could park on my street (it's permit parking and everything, I'm well posh).
Alternatively there's a new Youth Hostel opening right in the city centre, which is £15 I think...though maybe that's a bit steep for you tightwads.
haha im not being a tightwad, im just a poor scum bag thats all. im trying to sort my finances out and it doesnt include staying in hotels. haha
i could park on your street if you sort us out with a permit.
any idea what this hostel is called? i dont mind hostels!
It's called the Albatross, isn't quite open yet I don't think but supposedly will be at the start of Feb. Much more central than the original Newcastle youth hostel, and cheaper I reckon.
You don't need the permit on Saturdays, anyway, but I'll let you borrow it if it makes you feel special.
eta: hostel website i'm so helpful.
ive stayed in hostels before and its no problems, it actually looks quite nice.
doesnt mention not being open yet.....
if not, I WANT YOUR PERMIT
found that one as well, know owt about that?
i'll wait and see if albatross come back to me, if not i might go for that one...has free parking as well. a mile walk aint too bad, and then could get a taxi back at end of night, shouldnt be too expensive.
thing is tho, i dont wanna go to all this bother and then everyone go home at like 6pm. hah
