Alytha Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hello :)As I'll arrive a day early before Eastercon starts, ie, on Wednesday 4th April, and I don't like being on my own in a foreign city in the evening, would anybody be interested in meeting up for a meal and a drink (or two) or something?Of course, if anybody's interested in joining me on my random ramblings through London on Wednesday and Thursday, they're welcome too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoë Sumra Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 MCGeek and I should be able to join in on the Wednesday evening. We're both working on Weds and Thurs during the day, so no joy there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm arriving at an ungodly hour on the 5th, so I'll be out and about and up for a ramble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz of CCAA Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I arrive at about 8 am on Thursday. I'd like to go to London proper during the day if I can get rid of my baggage. :)I'm up for everything that doesn't involve a lot of walking about. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alytha Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'll probably be in the British Museum for a good while. Last time, I found out that they have a 30 to 60 minute tour of a part of the museum every hour or so, which are very interesting. (so much so that last time, I almost missed my plane home).Other than that, I heard that there's a bike rental service in London, so I have the vague idea of cycling along the Thames.Also, shopping. ;)Anybody's welcome to join me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, ungodly. A morning person I am not. :rofl: 6am for work is bad enough. :PI'll probably be in the British Museum for a good while.

There is a rental service yeah. Boris Bikes. You pick them up at a waystation and simply return them to any empty waystation in London.

Alytha Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 She should be easy to find then...I mean, how many weirwood trees are there at Heathrow?British Museum it is then, on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I was indeed the weirwood tree at TitanCon. But I shall be weir-free for EasterCon. The tree didn't quite survive the trip back from TitanCon and came back in weir-parts......yeah, my fault as I just couldn't be bothered with the finkicky packing and just stuffed it in. XD But yeah, no costumes for EasterCon.And meeting at the airport would be cool. I'm actually getting a coach into London, and I terminate at Heathrow, so I'm guessing I'll be booted off at Central Bus Station.And British Museum it is! Awesome!

Alytha Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Sooo, for anyone wanting to meet on Wednesday evening...Last time I was over there, we went to the Cittie of York, which was quite OK (if a bit loud). Anyone up for meeting there again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Would love to, but I'm not due until Thursday morning I'm afraid. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alytha Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 When shall we meet on Thursday then, Ladies?The first mini-tour at the British Museum is at 11:00, so shall we say 10:00 at the main entrance on Great Russell Street? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 10 is doable for me. I arrive at 8am so I can get to the hotel, dump my luggage and hop on the tube easily enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targh Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I might be up for a beer on the wednesday evening. I'm not far at all from Cittie of Yorke - working in Fleet St atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alytha Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Ok, Mr or Mrs Targh if it's just going to be me and you there...let's imagine our scale of creepyness:0 (Sansa) to 10 (the unholy lovechild of the Mountain and Vargo Hoat)Where would you see yourself?(And where would your friends see you?):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone tells me how I'll get to the museum.I would prefer to go to the museum with one or both of you together. :blushing:I've got to go to my Hotel (Sheraton Skyline) first, though, to get rid of my baggage. Hope they have a room for baggage storage because I can't get into my room before 2 or 3 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz of CCAA Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I just looked up some way to get there and it takes more than an hour to get to the museum. Not that I mind that, but I guess it will be hard to get to the museum by 10 am. At least for me. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
