as I didn't pick it up...

Nothing specific has been decided on, just "London - 08/08 - sometime in the evening".

Locutus and I have booked our flight to London. Accommodation is almost arranged.

Provost Harrison
Boddington's

Yea, that would be sensible. Be sure to check multiple cheap airlines.
Locutus and I are flying EasyJet out and RyanAir back =)

[Ecthy]

got any cool sites to do that? or did you go to a tourist office for that? O_o

[Drogue]

http://www.easyjet.co.uk/ and http://www.ryanair.co.uk/

[Ecthy]

OK, but maybe a site that returns the bestest of all options. this way I never know if there's an even cheaper line

[Drogue]

The cheapest will almost certainly be one of those. Ryanair have done free flights before, and both of those should cost peanuts.

[Ecthy]

yeah, I can only get sh!t connections though... Berlin-London is possible, but no way to an airport in the north of England...

so I need accomodation in London before the meeting. I'd suppose Mike's offer doesn't include putting me up for a longer period of time (2 days upwards )

[Drogue]

You could get a flight from Berlin to Stanstead and then one from Stanstead to Manchester, Liverpool or Newcastle. Or you could get to Holland and go by ferry to Hull.

[Ecthy]

ferry is for old people

getting to London and then to the north would be a little strange...

maybe I should get to London, attend the meeting, go up north with the guys for a week, then go back to L.?

I'd prefer hanging around with them before the meeting though, somewhat...

[Drogue]

Ect: Exactly. Fly to London for the meet, and then go back with them. How is everyone getting back to other parts of the UK afterwards? How late do trains run?

[Ecthy]

I'd still have to make my way back to London later on, but there should be a way...

and I'm sure someone is willing to show me the north and put me up for some time

[Ecthy]

yep, cheapest and bestest would be going out on thursday the 7th and returning on monday the 18th, 2 weekends included. only works with accomodation given, though. if I take a week off that, give or take a few days, it might end up being a ridiculously short trip. when in Rome...

Prov, you got work those days? MikeH, can you put me up for more than one night, maybe a week later?
