Thanks Shaun.
I'd like to do this ride.
I've no idea, at this point, whether I'll be available.
Please add my name to the list, regardless.
I'll make it up as I go along from there....

Hi Simon, I'll be up for this. I've not done one of your rides since Manchester to Blackpool

National Rail pricing remains as bonkers as ever. Ticket up, Fratton to York, £38 advance fare with one ticket. Coming back on the Sunday (will be staying with the mates in Tollerton), direct fare £117 (!). Only cheapo option yet on sale- Grand Central to KX: £21.60. And I decided to save myself a few quid and go for Southern rather than SWT, so Victoria-Fratton for a fiver.

Ah, the familiar sinking feeling when looking at advance fares! Yes, Brum to York is giving me Silly Prices at the moment, either direct, via Manchester or Nottingham. But getting to Nottingham's only £7.

Hmmm. that gives me a silly/cunning plan (I've not decided which yet) - how difficult would it be to cycle from Nottingham? Are any of you nutters who are planning on cycling up from London going by Nottingham by any chance?

I'll be aiming to go through Bingham (about 10 miles east of Nottingham) at around 4-5pm. From there, it's about 80 miles into York. Timings may not be massively accurate!

[mmmmartin]

[Wowbagger]

I just bought one. I'm on the 13.30: straight through to Kings Cross.. That's quite a relief as I was struggling to find a cheap route back.

Got my £10 ticket.

Cheap(ish) tickets acquired (still no idea whether I'll be able to go ????) Travelling up in the afternoon, decided to pay a visit to NRM seeing as I've never been. No idea how I'm going to kill 6 hrs between 18:00. when the locos are put to bed, and 00:00.
Any suggestions?
