Railwaygun my transport problem is solved as Ray from BHE is picking me up so it's Bob Tidbury + 1 and  ,If Fardap can pick crewearpley40 on his way to my house we can all come in the one car But we still have time to work something out between us . But time does fly past I can't believe how quick this year is going .
Thanks for reposting the date .

......peterborough,bedford,cut across country

Yes, that's the most likely route, a road I've travelled many a time, with the A418 through Aylesbury a highlight . Thought I'd overnight Friday near Henley, but........  it's the Henley Festival weekend! Cue the doubling or tripling of accommodation costs. :'( Another rethink needed.

Last night, sleepless as ever, I did wonder if it might be quicker to go north to Humberside Airport, fly down to Heathrow, then hire a car to Fawley Hill!

If you get a tube to South Ealing from Heathrow , I could pick you up?

Thanks for the kind offer, but never a serious option, and I've just checked prices and flights

£231 return is current cheapest with a flight time of over 3 hours! That's due to a stopover for flight transfer in Amsterdam!

Think I'll drive and stop over with family half way - unless they're all on holiday, gone to the GP, or gone boating on the Thames, of course.

Just joined the forum and seen this thread.

My partner and I would love to come if there is space still available

Hi Will and welcome to the forum. I will warn you now, there are some reet nosey people on 'ere, so someone will be along soon asking for details of your plans and for a post in the Introduction thread. @Railwaygun will probably answer your query about Fawley Hill.

Would it not be easier, and less stressful to just get up early and drive on the morning...? Isn't it only 3 hours did you say?
