I'm easy. I don't mind travelling down in the morning, or staying the night before. If we stay then we need to get something booked ASAP, and there is a possibility that we won't all get in at the same place.

So no clearer on route then
If overnight stay then one option is Travel Lodge. Nearest is Ashford and is £45 per room. Probably be able to find cheaper B&B.

I won't be able to sleep the night before because I will be to excited. So I don't want to waste money when I've paid for a bed and not slept in it, just to have my breakfast.

Thumbs up Yey! I'm on the net again til i get banned again.

Your a funny guy, it'll work out cheaper for you if u just pay the £60 and buy ya own brekkie, wasn't it around £5 each for brekkie last time???

Anyways I'll be coming again with rockets and rockets alone, and a launch tube so we don't have to summit like an empty champagne bottle after TIM's finished spraying it all over himself.

Uh Oh someones coming gotta go............
