FNRttC to Brighton March 9th

[hatler]

I love trailer bikes!

Phew !

Any people thinking of getting a groupsave train ticket back?

We're looking at possibly booking our tickets in advance but if there were any takers...what times were people set on heading back?

groupsave (four tickets for the price of two) can be had on the morning - it's a question of corralling confused cyclists in to groups of four. Bear in mind, though, that you have to queue for the tickets rather than get them from the machine - and the queues at Brighton station can be lengthy. Bear in mind also that you have to travel together, so you'll presumably be looking for people going to East Croydon or Clapham Junction.

TEC ing being a privilege, not a chore, of course. (All the best drinks are in the tail-end saloon...)

And I have just purchased a hip flask for this very purpose. Now Metaxa or whisky?

 

[martint235]

Narrow it down a bit. What whisky?

Left to my own devices probably Laphroaig. Not much of a whisky connoisseur, it could even end up being Famous Grouse.

I am leaning towards Metaxa 7 star though although my local shop only sells it in litre bottles which would be a waste for a 6oz hip flask.

 

[martint235]

If your local shop is selling Metaxa that needs to be drunk within 48 hours of opening, you need a new local shop.

Is there a Metaxa that doesn't need to be drunk within 48 hours? Damn I've been telling SWMBO that it's like very short life milk.

My hip flask often has this in it. http://www.welsh-whisky.co.uk/

If I come then yes to Clapham. However, tickets on Southern's website to Clapham are currently either £4.50 or £ 6.75 (depending on the which train) each which is less than 4 people would pay each on group save. You do have to specify which train though...

thanks for that - they only had the 10% offer the other day! I've sent out a group e-mail!

I may well be up for a groupsave, on the day - if your destination is Clapham J?
Looked into the advance tickets, as mentioned by Sketchley but think I will wait until the morning and see how it pans out. Probably shoot for sometime between 9:30 and 11... as a departure.

Cheers

Please note that the SMRbtH will be in full effect for this ride.....
I will be more then happy of some company and will be dragging my arse back to home via Crawley and East Croydon.

White Grouse could become appropriately chilled in a TEC's hip flask....

I'll be packing Clynelish in mine, (and young mr marinyork's bottle of highland park in my saddlebag - assuming paul is coming.)

Ah, SD...just this moment we've got our advance tickets - they worked out significantly cheaper than groupsave we went with that instead.

Departing from Brighton at 10:19
