This LAN me and Lumi are coming over again and we need a ride if possible from Stansted to March and back.
We arive around 09.35 on the Friday and our plane goes back around Sundays 15.25 (checkin between 13.25-14.45).
Anyone around that can give us a ride? DA?
I'm up Thursday again so unfortunately... Lumi's PC will be there waiting for him though!!
Snap but with Duvals monitor
I should be driving up from London on Friday, back Sunday, but not yet sorted a hire car out. Should really do that soon...
I am heading up Thursday as well, so sorry can't give a lift.
Funny thing, Lumi didn't want to go Thursdays this time. I was up for it otherwise though...
Bah, I'm a Thursday-nighter too otherwise I would have offered a lift.
Sorry guys :(
You can get regular trains from Stansted to Cambridge (and London, obviously) if that helps at all...
More helpfully, it looks like you can get a train from Stansted Airport all the way to March without any changes.
It takes about an hour, you can check the times here: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/
hmm, 15 pounds a ticket, not that bad.
And sorry DuVeL, it didn't matter to you, If you really wanted it, you shouldn't have let me chosen then, or go without me that thursday.
They all took away/forced me to use my holiday days allready (amazing what they can do to temps in name of "crisis time..."). So I'm all ready forced to take unpayed leave that friday, I'f i'd had to take the thursday off to, it would really add up significantly (combined with the extra costs on thursday (food/drinks/bed).
Its not that I wasn't up for for no reason, I'd have come thursday if I'd had enough days for sure!.
I will know what I'm doing car-wise nearer the time, so will be happy to help if I can. I expect I'd be going up Fri morning reasonably early :-) a day off's a day off!
If cars don't appear I can vouch for the trains - did that once before from London complete with desktop pc and monitor!
And I'm sure someone will pick you up from the Station in March.
I'm sorry I can't help
We'll see a bit closer to the weekend of LANning then.
Time for my first lan :doh: but the problem I have is the transport from Stansted to March on Friday and back on Sunday
I'm arriving at 10:55 on Friday and the plane back goes at 17:20 on Sunday and since it isn't that far from the time between the planes that Duvel and Lumi is taking perhaps someone kind enough can pick all 3 of us up (no I havn't talked to them about this :P)
:please: :helpsmilie2::help2:
I don't mind waiting that extra hour for you on friday (you DuVeL?), if you don't mind waiting on sunday, then might as well grab the train together :)
First lets see what Suicidal does. Otherwise I wouldn't mind waiting offcourse.
Hopefully Sunday we can catch a car ride back though as many people will go back then.
A question about the trains from Stansted to March, anyone can give us a link for it?
You can check the train times etc on the National Rail website: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/
Right, I have booked a car. I think we got to 3 people at stansted, last one landing at 1055? Might be a bit of a squash depending what car they give me of course.
Cheers :)
I'll pack as lightly as I can :)
Aye same here - ish :P

I call shotgun! Who takes the M4?
I'll be bringing my PC and a weekendbag.
BTW, Suicidal, I'll PM you my phonenumber.
For the rest, Michelanio, look out for 2 tall Dutchies. I'll try and get a picture up soon of me and Lumi or will just make a sign for you at the airport.
Balance a pack of syrup waffles on your head, that should do the trick..
tut tut
No way, DA will get me arrested and the syrupwaffles will be somehow mysteriously disappeared

You cannot call shotgun without the car in vieuw, those are the rulez.
What does work is: Dibs on the front passenger seat (so there, I said it :P)

oh come on I'm prob the shortest one there so I should have the front seat :P and for you duvel and lumi look for a short kid with glasses :P

We'll see about that, want to wrestle about the front seat instead? Hang on, a shoot out would be a better...
