Bushmoot car share

[Bootstrap Bob]

Thought I might run an idea past you guys to see if anyone had thought about it.:thinkerg:
Mods - if you see any problems with this feel free to remove.

With the cost of fuel rocketing I thought it might be an idea to organise a car share for those people going to the Moot for the same days and from similar areas. I'm sure some of you are already doing this with people who you have already met but how many others are there who might like the idea.

I am not proposing anything like a taxi service for cash but perhaps the people who are getting the lift could thank the driver by providing some food or drink (or in fact anything they see fit) for the weekend in return for the lift.

Just think how much you will be doing for the environment and more important you will all have more £££ in your pocket to spend on new kit


To start things off I am currently giving Buckley8219 a lift from Oxford station on Friday, we will be returning on Sunday and I have probably got room for one more with kit.

I would suggest that this thread might be used for offers of lifts or requests but individual arrangements are kept to pms.

I'll also be driving over from Oxford, but I'm planning on going mid-morning Friday to get there for when the gates open, and departing on Tuesday, probably just after lunch. The car isn't that big, so I could certainly fit one person, and possibly two if you don't have too much kit.

I was beginning to think nobody was interested in saving money and the planet. Either that or it was a cr&p idea

 

[Twoflower]

I think it's an outstanding idea

I've already got my lift sorted though.

I suspect many arrangements have already been made, I know mine have been for a couple of months.

Great thread and don't worry about the reply thing, a lot of people won't have even thought about how they're getting there If this helps one person it's worth it.

I'm coming from West Wales but I'll be packed But I'm happy to pick people up from Bridgend train station if it's needed, on the Tue I usually take a loads down to the station to get home.

I'm more than happy to give a lift as I've room for one extra.

However, I'll be going down with my son on the Thursday afternoon and stopping off here http://www.rockseast.org.uk/ for the night just to make an easier trip of it. Plus I wanted to check it out as it's a 100 acre woodland and they allow campfires on designated pitches so long as you purchase logs from them at £2.50 per bag

If anyone is interested I can pick up from either Watford Junction station or St Albans.

What time would you be "passing by" Bridgend station to pick up some train travelling people? We will arrive on different trains but some sort of appointment could be organised.
Thanks for your offer, Tony. I know one way or the other a solution will be found for everyone.

 

[Tony]

I'll not be passing I come in missing it and I'll be there setting up before it starts. So, what's probably best is for people to say, and someone to compile a list of times and we'll see if we can get a few on board if I come to pick up people.

I'd love to make it to the Moot but don't have transport. If anyone is travelling down from Scotland, Northumberland, Cumbria, or Yorkshire and fancies diverting to Durham to pick me up, I'll happily split fuel costs 50/50. I'll also go along with whatever start and finish times are already planned. I'd only have one large rucksack and a box with some woodworking tools.

Fingers crossed,

Eric

Come on, someone give Eric a lift Be great to get you there mate
