mm vv tempting u git, Sw trains is £10 at w/e's for august , thats wot it cost me in petrol to go to pompy ,un a meets called there too.

Now im gonna have to do calculations AND asume this is Kew bridge ( if there is 1). Please some1 post maps uun tubes(yep i know its saaarrfff so river so no chance) or is this still on mainline ,or bockable from, so im still in the tenner range?

One probem with your theory its £10 there and then another £10 back :p and if you read it carefully it doesnt book you a seat it only give you a possition on the train so you will have to scavenge a seat. so all in all its not that good.

There is loads of other websites doing the same thing cheaper, if i booked now i could get a return to london for next week for £15, so it can be cheaper in other places

good point,why dont they,just say what it is, ide like to come but on the 8th we are meeting

Think the word is "OWNED" Q

Yep it's Kew bridge but I was tired and it didn't look right but couldn't figure out why

Think I'll leave it as is cause it's quite funny and hopefully ET will see it and have a dig

You are welcome to come Q but it might be a short meet for such a long journey as I will have to leave with Clive at 3 ish but would love to see you

It's actually a day return. So Just tenner, not £20. Also, I don't know what trains are like near you but the only time I ever get seats allocated is when I book wayyy in advanced down to london. Can't be that bad can it

did the £10 deal to get down to bournemouth on saturday, trains are fine, hardly ever completely booked up

i might be able to come, depending on what comes up, i'll see on satuday

nope, hardly bocked in the last 2 months, as it's been raining pretty much all the time

am i right assuming this is the kew bridge by kew gardens in london? and which station is best/other meet-point details etc?

Jason · « **Reply #12 on:** August 08, 2009, 12:04:34 PM »

Ok guys this is where it is

http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=kew+bridge&countryCode=GB

Or if the link won't work type Kew Bridge into Multimap

nearest tube is Gunnersbury

nearest railway is Kew Bridge

Should be there from about 12 but feel free to turn up earlier

As I said this meet is a tester to see what the area is like as a few bits looked good on street view and it is near to a new guy who may be joining us

Jason

darfgarf · « **Reply #13 on:** August 08, 2009, 07:24:33 PM »

right, i'm in, should be getting into kew bridge station about 11:45

and no-one is allowed to laugh at how crap i've got, can barely walk along without getting out of breath

Put on some weight in Wales have we DG

Well that was fun

Only Clive , Hollie and me turned up in the end (hope the phone line went well DG

)

There is a lot of places to bock there and loads of steps that are just the right size
A ramp by the bridge is ideal to learn on and there is a small park with an ideal runway to learn to flip (if you don't mind a grass landing)

Hollie managed to jump off her first step and had a go at a three step drop and made it

Clive was matching me drop for drop (just like a couple of kids

) and some of them were big for us

Really good day and will be doing it again soon

Jason

well in the end we've gotta pay £120 between us to get it made back into a bt line, and there ahs to be someone home for the next few days incase a technician comes round, so i'm practically housebound

though it's still cheaper (and better) than renewing the virgin contract form last year and having horribly throttled internet
