Travelling to the moot

[Graham_S]

I've got my ticket all booked but the problem now is how to get there.
I'm toying with the idea of driving this year (I normally take the train)
If I drive (and I'm just throwing ideas around at the moment) would anyone fancy car sharing (thus splitting the cost of the petrol)
I reckon at current fuel prices it's going to cost £150 in petrol for the round trip from Dundee to the moot and back (same cost as a train ticket incidentally)
Anyone got any thoughts on the matter?

I not sure what the train or petrol cost is down to Glasgow, you know whats coming next......


Fly

I'm not going this year btw, I'm doing a paragliding course later in the year and need to keep 10 days for that.


Hope you enjoy it

If I could, I'd fly from Aberdeen.
But I can't seem to find a reasonably priced flight.

If you book early enough train prices are silly low..ie -.I am going by train from Aberystwythto Glasgoe for under £30 at the end of this month....

Graham, im thinking of taking the car down from dundee, ive got one passenger already verloc, and one non BCUK friend who is toying with the idea but will probably not come, Currently I plan to leave work at 1pm in Dundee on the Thursday and drive as far as possible and either b&b or camp somewhere. save doing mamoth journey overnight or v.early morning, not planned return route yet.

I tried that, booking as far ahead as possible (on the morning of the day they released the tickets) didn't bring the price down at all. Same thing happened last year. I think it's because I have to travel on a couple of companies areas.

I will be arriving by train from London, will know the time of arrival when I will have my ticket which should be tonight (computer system at station had broken down so I was told to come back later, which means now immediately after writing this).

Will come back soon here with precise arrival time at Bridgend on Friday, which should be early afternoon.
