Alton Towers, anyone fancy it?

[Alex]

I will drag SWMBO and sprog along to bring the numbers up :(

[lfc958]

Would be interested, SWMBO not keen on thrill rides ( nemesis, oblivion etc ) but likes the Tea Cups.

I have holiday booked 1st week Oct, but may be able to get time off in Sept.

Having a long way to travel from, might try and get a B&B for the night before.

You don't *have* to bring SWMBO along, the thought process for this was that my missus hates rollercoasters etc.... still it's someone to hold coats etc

"ill have a double cheeseburger... would be nice if its here when ive been on this ride"

[lfc958]

Might not be able to bring SWMBO, if the decided date is not during the weeks holiday in Oct.

A small development...

I have 12 vouchers for

[Alex]

Sounds good to me

[tavia4x4]

(oh, not to be confused with the voucher offer on TV - those ones

have to be used by 31st August, so should not be too busy on 3rd Sept)

[Dr Zoidberg]

They will almost certainly have another offer after this one , and the third is the last day of the school holidays so it will still be very busy,

[tavia4x4]

But still, a weekday will be quieter than a weekend. Parents work, and tend to take time off to go away rather than days out. Also, if you had planned to take your kids at ATowers over the summer hols, would you leave it to the last day?

[ColinD]

Yup as it would be far quieter then

[tavia4x4]

..and how many kids do you have Colin?

[Neo_VR]

voice of reason vs voice of experience

[ColinD]

None, but does that bar me from commenting or guessing when those who do, would go...same game for driving on a bank holiday weekend, just go when they reckon it's going to be busy as most likely everyone else will think it's to busy to go....or add n levels of reverse psychology to that till you get bored and have to stop or go back to work.

[roo]

I should be able to do Sept 3rd. It will be a loooooonnnnnnnggggg weekend with Trax on the saturday.

[tavia4x4]

ok, new list, for Friday 3rd September:

1) Tavia4x4 - Ian

2) Alex - Alex

3) Alex's other half...

4) Rooboy

Copy, paste, add your name....

[Alex]

1) Tavia4x4 - Ian

2) Alex - Alex

3) Alex's other half+ Sprog possibly

4) Rooboy

[lfc958]

This looks extemely tempting.

Unfotunately because of the Trax day on the Sat , I would have to come all the way home. as my son and his girlfriend are coming with us to Trax.

Anyone hazard a guess at the miles and how much time it would take for the follwing journey ? FRIDAY - Dover to Alton towers, Alton towers to Dover, then SAT Dover to Silverstone, Silverstone to Dover. :eek:

Still interested.

[ColinD]

Sadly in Scoty land for a wedding

[ScoobyChris]

We're not able to make that - other end of September would be better, but I guess the weather won't be as good

Chris

[roo]

Is this still happening??????

[A-B Girl]

I have no idea if this is still on ( personally would doubt there is enough people to make it viable, but its not up to me).

But there are
