You've just reminded me that I've got to get to Reading in January for a few days - a course from work.

What's the best way to get there from the Island, bearing in mind the weather in January? I certainly don't fancy driving from/to Heysham and risking the boat being delayed or cancelled, especially as I'm only there for a couple of days anyway.

I'm thinking of flying to Gatwick and then getting the train, but if you've any better suggestions, I'm all ears....

Regards,

B

RE: I Love life
Now lets not get into beer snobbery!
Fortunately there are plenty of good brews to go round
I am a huge Bushys fan of course
But I dont subscribe to "Northern is best" and that applies to fish and chips too!
Salsibury is one of my favourite places!!
I like to think I live in "Outer Salisbury" rather than Andover
Though we have some good real ale pubs around here, too
Yes, a meet fro a pint is a great idea
Obviously one of us will have to drive and I am prepared to make the sacrifice and come
to you.... the FIRST time!
Now maybe Pamela will drive us when her achilles tendon recovers
Lets get it on

A TT WEBSITE BRANCH IS A GOOD IDEA
If it met in Salisbury that would be even better!

That sounds good. Monday is a good day for the Wyndham arms in Salisbury it's £2.00 a pint night but I can do most nights really.

Yeah Mike I know Stonehenge as well. When I lived in Christchurch I got a bus out to Avesbury and had to walk from there for miles up this bloody great hill. When I got there all I found was a great heap of stones. No Druids no naked pagan rites, nothing. Very disappointing, but there was those Constable skies.
