    Could you please tell me how far Newcastle is from your place??
    So, what would be the best way to get there then?? Is there a train service??

    Newcastle is about 300 miles/5hrs drive from Weston-Super-Mare, and its a nightmare to do on public transport. Me and my girlfriend will be driving down leaving Newcastle Friday teatime and returning late Sunday, if you need a lift.

    Bristol Airport has now been upgraded to full International status. Continental Airlines will fly from New York to Bristol regularly as from next month.

    It seems I might be staying here, if I get the deposit off and or the Courtlands don't call (left a message on their answer phone)

    Anyone else interested there's rooms available. £18.

    Qwerty,

    Yep, Locking Road is indeed about 10 minutes walk away. Severn Rd, Whitecross Rd, Walliscote Rd are all within a couple of hundred yards.

    Courtlands has a prior booking and all the rooms are already taken.

    Update- The Courtlands are full- Thanks Mike + I got a call from them this morning giving me the bad news! Although there is room at The Abingdon and it sounds a good B & B - I have cancelled. A ten minute walk could become a half hour one if sozzzzzled! I have rebooked at another B & B - The Albany on Clevedon Road Friday and Saturday night, which is a 2 min walk or so! The number if anyone else is interested - 01934 629936. Qwerty

    Last year, a bunch of us went for an Indian meal on the night before the BBQ.

    Can you imagine Kent, Valis, Norm, Nelly, Me etc in an Indian restaurant? It was a riot!

    So...anyone up for it? Say Friday July 8, about 7.30 pm?
