Fridays Tour 2013?

[Davywalnuts]

Oh yes by a long way. Yours are just so ostentatious.

Moi? Never...

 

[Davywalnuts]

I call it youthful exuberance... you know you love it

Because Simon says the trains to Goole are Hull trains and have lots of space for bikes in their guards vans, and are cheap. And it is flat around there. And because, er, well, Simon says.

Grand Central trains to York have proper guards vans.

Does the temporary hiatus in the frenzy of posting mean we are going for a big house in Yorkshire? If so, we ought to book it pretty soon as these things go a very long time before Christmas. This will then involve munni being parted with.
On the other hand, crossing Ireland is on my list.....
And we could also go to France, which is close and has cheap beer, good weather and lovely food, which is very often not brown and not crap meat inna bun.

I like France. It's foreign. Beer is good, food is good.

about £4000 a week

about £4000 a week

Where's that? Looks pretty stunning!

 

[martint235]

Can we fit 30 people in it? £134 each for the week then!

It's good to see that arithmetic is alive and well at the FT.

Wrong Martin?

I do my best. What's the FT though???

Skendleby - quite a way south of the target area, but nice. Within reach of sleeps 24 but I'm asking about camping in the grounds and other houses for hire in the neighbourhood. The roads thereabouts need working out, though - some of the A-roads in Lincolnshire make for pretty crap cycling

 

[dellzeqq]

Wrong Martin?

indeed - but procuring drugs does require a high standard of numeracy........

Trains for a potentially large number together?

Once you're out of the south-east, there's less of an issue about bikes on trains. It would need some study, but it shouldn't be too hard to pick areas with a frequent service between them, able to take a certain number of bikes per train. Of course some people will just cycle everywhere and shun a train, anyway.

 

[StuAff]

Quite a few online services for large house rental- this place looked rather nice...

 

[dellzeqq]

that's where I found Skendleby. Most of them are on the 'less interesting' side of the country, although there is a fantastic castle in Caithness which would suit us down to the ground. But how would we get there......?

sadly it's way too expensive........
