"The road to Hell and back" - Halloween 2010
-
I hope to go to this. But it will be finance dependent
-
Yer more than welcome James.
If it helps, Tulleys farm is an evening event (hence attempting it on the travel day). Roughly 9pm-11pm from what I've heard. Depending on how far you're travelling, it should be possible to do on a schoolnight.
Mystara, even if finances don't permit everything, you're welcome along to wherever you can. Because of the distances involved, I was fully expecting people to dip in and out as they saw fit. This isn't an organised "meetup" in the usual sense. More "This is happening here and when. Anyone wanna join the fun?"
I'll probably start trying to sort planes, trains, automobiles, acomodation and park tickets in just over a Fortnights time. Let's say Friday 10th Sept. (any later and we risk losing out as most of the events are booked ahead).
If folks could let me know a definate Yes or No by then it'd be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Ah, but coming from Edinburgh is ALWAYS going to be finance heavy, unfortunately.
You never know, I might have a job by then
-
Just a quick heads up, there's a lot of BOGOF offers floating around for Alton & Thorpe Park at the moment. Even though it does mean taking time off we've tried weekends / school holidays with these trips previously and it was shockingly bad (busy beyond belief).

I'm only a few miles outside of Stirling!
If you don't mind squeezing into the passenger seat of an MX-5, the travel costs might work a little cheaper. Any use?

Alton @ Buyagift.co.uk - Thanks Forester!
As a quick note, the 2 scare mazes in Altons Hotel grounds ("Carnival of Screams" and the "Boilerhouse") are a little extra. £12 for the pair when bought on park IIRC.
Unfortunately, Buyagift.co.uk don't have Thorpe tickets for the FrightNights. We may have to book them directly nearer the time.

Ah, that's quite possible, thanks.
I'll need to let you know nearer the time, though.

Just checked Tulley's Farm dates the proper page doesn't yet say anything still but the Job Vacancies page says it's from Oct 22nd - 31st.
Thanks for that. For safeties sake We'll make Tulleys the Saturday then.
Means the Thursday can be nice and relaxed as we go cross country (about 170 miles depending on the route taken) and hopefully James and others can get involved as well.
As already mentioned, I'd prefer to do the larger themeparks during the working week. It'll hopefully make things a little quieter. Being knee deep in Neds and Chavs isn't my idea of fun...
Meh... I'd edit the original post again but the board won't let me!

I'll edit the post for you based on this info.

JamesA
Unknowns
Mystara (I'm happy to offer a lift South. You'll need transport back however as I'm not heading straight home after this.)
This is everyone I've heard from so far. A definate Yes or No please ASAP from those wavering then We can start getting the little details sorted.
Who needs picked up from where?
Who's needing Accomodation and Where? (In the interests of keeping the group together.)
Not forgetting, of course, we still need to buy the tickets! Hopefully making use of whatever offers we can find since there's now a small group.
-
For me, it'll depend on whether I get a job or not.
It's quite possible that I'll have one within a month and a half. In which case, I'll be there.
I guess we'll need to wait and see
-
I've been seriously thinking about this since I first saw the thread but I thought I'd wait and see not on the basis of who's going but how much interest there would be. I seem to have a want to jump on every social bandwagon going at the moment. Which worries me slightly but it probably means I have to get out more even if it is on the other side of the country to a farm in the middle of nowhere.
What's happening with this now may I ask?
What about accommodation for the Saturday night? According to the site this event finishes at 11pm. Which is, like, late.
What sort of costs on average would we be looking at for everything roughly?
