WISKEY'S BURPDAY & Sun MaY 3rd PiCNic BaSh!

[Geri]

Just wondering where to get my ticket to, is Ashton Court walkable from Temple Meads?

Bear in mind that you need to get to the top of Ashton Court, not the bottom. There is no way I would walk it in a million years. Best to get a bus from Temple Meads to the bus station, then another bus to Ashton Court from there (get 358/359 which will take you to the top entrance not the bottom one).

 

[Maggot]

If I do come, I'll be driving from London and able to take passengers.

I've never been, so not really got a clue where we're going... will get more specific directions nearer the time, but bus numbers are useful, ta Do they run ok on Sundays?

Ooh, train tickets bought we'll be there with cake

They are every hour on Sundays, at 20 past the hour. There are other buses that run to the bottom of the estate, but it's a bit of a trek from there and really steep!

 

[wiskey]

we may be able to make this

how far is it walk (with pushchair) from the nearest place we could park?

not far hopefully.

mind you we did heave the buggy over two stiles the other day

hmm

how easy with a double buggy?

 

[JTG]

8 & 9 run from TM to Clifton, then it's a walk over the Bridge to Ashton Court

If anyone's interested, Congo Natty and Tippa Irie are playing at Clockwork on the evening of this

I'm sure theres enough people to assist if necessary.

Praps Fizz could be a tad more specific about rough location?

Right then mate there is a car park up by the golf course. BUT what I'll be doing is stopping just by the top entrance gate. Let people alight from the vehicle there and wander off down into the field, and then going off to park the car.

Were going with it being the same place as last time, when we piled everyone in the land rover to go back to BUNKrs.

That's probably easier from TM for someone who doesn't know the area - less waiting around for buses, although a longer walk.

Argh... already booked my train home.

 

[scifisam]

I would have liked to have come along, because you seem lovely and the other attendees seem lovely, but for some reason most of my social calendar seems to be making an attempt to squeeze into that weekend. Hope you all have a wonderful time.

Bedminster Downs - there really should be a bed or mattress company with that name. So cosy.

 

[djbombscare]

We've also got a Horfields

 

[Pieface]

Weeeelll.

If Jefe's leg's doing ok by next weekend and the weather looks good we are considering coming along to say hello to the Brizzle crew. Been ages since we saw Wiskey and Derv and we've NEVER met Rowan! I initially thought this was the Aston Court festival weekend and was put off because of crowds and traffic but it's not is it?

There's a few things we have to work out so it's not definite but if we do manage it is there space to park up outside your house Wiskey and Derv? For the van like?

We have the wheelchair now so getting about isn't such a mare

 

[William of Walworth]

By no means impossible for us on a day trip from Swansea basis!

Will need to discuss with deb though.

 

[JTG]

Yeah, I think it's simpler. As I say, happy to meet people off the train and escort them to the correct bus and then over the bridge

Argh... already booked my train home.

Useless!

Weeeelll.

Ashton Court Festival is an ex-festival, ceased to be, joined the choir invisibule etc etc It's gonna be just us and whoever else is wandering round the estate that day.

 

[JTG]

We've also got a Horfields

We've only got one of them. It's singular.

 

[free spirit]

(((((whoever else is wandering round the estate that day)))))

what could possibly go wrong?

 

[free spirit]

what could possibly go wrong?

what, with so many experienced festival stewarding type on hand... nothing, nothing at all...

 

[Maggot]

A final plea for crash space, just a sofa would do, or I could bring my camping matress and kip on the floor.

 

[electrogirl]

There are lots of people I want to meet going to this. I am blue.

 

[JTG]

dissident are playing the night before at Motion - think it's Teebee and Dom & Roland

It's also last game of the football season the day before so expect me to be a little delicate on the Sunday

yeah there's a church opposite with a car park thats ok as long as its clear by sunday morning. Or a public car park, or the streets . . . actually I'll just say yes, there is parking.

if my work schedule means I can come to this, and you get no better offers, then there'd be floor space at my flat... don't currently own a sofa though, and there's not vast amounts of space.

will know more after friday when I actually start work.

 

[wiskey]

have you moved in yet?

 

[free spirit]

no... gonna be driving down either tomorrow evening, or early friday morning coz I have to be in work for a handover day on friday, but haven't really got my shit together yet, so wouldn't be leaving here til late tomorrow, but don't have keys to the flat, and not sure if landlord will appreciate a midnight meeting to pick up keys, so hopefully work will be ok about me getting there late morning as it's just a handover day, and I don't start properly til monday. <and breathe>

kinda lost a day thru not getting back to leeds from wales til 3.30am tuesday morning and being knackered (sure saturdays escapade didn't help as well).

*note to self* must get my shit together tomorrow

 

[wiskey]

good luck with it

 

[Jenerys]

Frankly I can't believe you were going to stand us all up to make bunting!

It's quite intricate bunting I'll have you know
