All,
Actually, this is for Mike [mikeemagnus], the local organizer of Doncaster (Chris or Neil?), and possibly Neil [Skafloc].
In order to attempt some type of itinerary, I would like to look at the following possibilities:
Plan A
Arrive Gatwick, England
Travel by train to Devon, and visit Mike [mikeemagnus]
Travel with Mike to Doncaster, Thursday 26 Sep
Attend Doncaster, 27-29 Sep (hotel is currently booked for Friday evening 27 Sep to Monday morning 30 Sep)
Travel to Nottingham and visit Rob [Flying Officer Kyte] and Eileen (self-invite)
Travel to Morpeth, Northumberland by train and visit Neil [Skafloc] (another self-invite. North of Hadrian's Wall?)
Travel to Gatwick by train to head home
Plan B
Arrive Gatwick, England
Travel by train to Northumberland and visit Neil [Skafloc]
Travel with Neil to Doncaster, Thursday 26 Sep or Friday 27 Sep
Attend Doncaster, 27-29 Sep
Travel to Nottingham and visit Rob [Flying Officer Kyte] and Eileen
Travel to Devon by Train and visit Mike [mikeemagnus]
Travel to Gatwick by train to head home
Plan C
Arrive Gatwick, England
Travel by train to ? and visit ?
Travel with ? to Doncaster, Thursday 26 Sep or Friday 27 Sep
Attend Doncaster, 27-29 Sep
Travel to Nottingham and visit Rob [Flying Officer Kyte] and Eileen
Travel to Devon by train and visit Mike [mikeemagnus]
Travel to Gatwick by train to head home
Length of stay is somewhat flexible, but we are looking at two-ish weeks. This could be the two weeks before Doncaster, with Doncaster in the middle, or with Doncaster at the beginning of the trip, and all the visits after. It could be a bit longer, if necessary.
Part of the issue is not knowing how trains work in England, nor the costs. Is this a viable option? It wouldn't be in Canada, but we don't have trains in Canada like there are in Europe nor England.
