    Car Sharing and lifts to/from Southport June 2007

    I am travelling in an *empty car to Southport - from Brighton (Hove actually)

    Anyone near to me need a lift ?


    *not quite empty - the boot will be very very full and it might flow into the back seat too

    Re: Lifts to/from Southport June 07

    I'm driving up Friday afternoon from Bicester/Oxford area returning Monday and have space in my car if anyone needs a lift

    (I live about 1hr from London by train if that'll be any use or could pick up en route)

    If interested PM me .... and should you be so fussy I've got air conditioning should the weather require it

    I think I'll be driving down on the Friday from Dundee, with a Little Monkey. Have space for one more.

    Afterwards, I'll be driving to Cardiff on my own. So space for 2 on that journey if there's anyone coming from that direction....

    I only knew about this 5 minutes ago, and have already been offered 3 other lifts!

    But if The Tramp is driving down alone, I'll go with him, but will still need a lift back. Still got space for me going back, Lisa?

    Yup. Unless I go with Trampy, of course. But you'll still have priority booking in my cafe as you've offered me a lift!

    You can go with Trampy, and the cakes can come with us. We promise not to "lose" any on the way there. Honest.

    I'm still looking for a lift to/from London. Somebody has kindly asked if I need one, but hasn't come back to me with a firm offer yet.

    Re: The Southport June 2007 Poll & Thread!!!

    Rather than start a new thread I though I would ask for a travel companion here

    I will be driving up at some point on the Friday (either day or after work - havnt decided yet) from West London.

    If anyone is interested in sharing the fuel costs, and putting up with my singing for 5 hours!, then just PM me.

    ....um.... thats what Multmi Map said!... perhaps bit optimistic!


    ...I imagine I will have to factor in accidents, Rush hour, Service Stations, getting a wee bit lost.... etc etc


    mind you, I have the Fri booked off, so will be going during the day - hopefully avoiding any rush hour antics.

    Well if it isn't too much hassle would the Perth stop suit you again?

    Yes I have done Bristol to Southport in 3 hours leaving at 1pm Friday afternoon - but didn't get lost once mind you......

    Missed having a dance (again!) at Tickenham last night Paul.

    Sorry no room in the car to offer you a lift Martin.

    I think they have some total random people from the states coming over for that. Jordan somethingorother I think. He's probably never even seen WCS.

    Don't really want to travel alone would be nice to have company and share of costs ..........

    If anyone would like a lift I hope to be leaving about 9'ish from Brighton - so could pick someone up on the M23 / M25 route to the M40 ???

    Returning Monday mid-morning
