Does anyone have a map or a route description on how to get from Bridgend to the bushmoot location on foot?
We we're planning to walk to the location from the train but finding a suitable map to use is proving difficult.
Thanks in advance for any help :D

Search for Merthyr Mawr on Streetmap. Otherwise, I'm sure someone will be able to collect you from the station. when do you arrive?

On the 9th! If that would be possible for anyone that would be even more awesome and we would be happy to pay back any gas costs.

Well according to my ticket the plane takes off in Amsterdam at 9:15 lands in Cardiff at 9:35. And
if I'm right it's an hour earlier in Whales, so that would be 8:35 in Cardiff. (Am I right?)

So I'm not completely sure what time I can take a train to Bridgend from there depending on what time I can be at the train station in Cardiff.
Am I right to say that you don't have to book train tickets in advance and that you can just get into a train on the spot?

Oh and there's 2 of us!

Train from the airport takes 27 mins and there is one train per hour. Cost is £2.50 if thetrainline.com is to be believed.

The airport is serviced by Rhoose Station not Cardiff Central. though there is a shuttle service.

Thanks for that it's a lot clearer now!
I just can't seem to find train times for trains going from Rhoose station to Bridgend anywhere

So if the plane lands on 8:45 I should be able to take the train of 9:12? Is 27 minutes enough to get of the airplane and get my pack and get to that train? If so we should be in Bridgend at 9:39

Depends on how long it takes to retrieve your baggage and clear customs etc. Will you need to shop for food when you arrive and will you be bringing a smartphone?

I was thinking to bring food for the first day in case we couldn't get to a store. So I wouldn't necessarily have to shop day one but was hoping to go along with a food run at some point. I do carry a smartphone!

Haha I did catch my airplane but I went straight into another camping outing for a week which I just got home from.
Thanks for the great moot all! It was absolutely awesome.
Will do a thread with pics when I can!!!
