going to check with wife when she gets home. hope to make the long trip from california

[Cole]

Booked the Travelodge as well. Also looking for flights.

Is there a direct train from LHR to Portsmouth? I think driving in the UK (on the wrong side of the road) would be the death of me before I reach Gosport.

[Alex]

@Daniel-San 90mins

[Alex]

@Cole Heathrow doesn’t have a ‘real’ train station. You can either take the train into London, then Waterloo to Portsmouth or look for road transport from Heathrow to Portsmouth which would be about 90mins

[Tago Mago]

@Cole I'm going to fly into Heathrow as well, much more convenient from Munich than Gatwick. The alternative appears to be a bus to Woking and then a train to Portsmouth. No idea how much of a pain this is

[Cole]

Thanks @Alex I'll book my flights now and look up transportation tomorrow. Sounds like a managable "problem".

[Alex]

Probably 2.5 hours total to go via woking from Heathrow

[Crispy Heron]

Travelodge booked for 2 nights

@Alex - I also completely failed to say that I would be attending on Friday evening as well

[Alex]

A resounding success on the form completion then

[Cole]

OK, so I'll be landing at LHR on Friday 12:40, fly back Sunday at 17:30 and stay at the Travelodge and the IH Headquater in between. Looking forward so see you all in Gosport.

@Alex - I am an absolute clown

[Alex]

[Crispy Heron]

@Alex - ta. I think that’s right!

@Oaktavia last year's alcohol free offerings were lovely, so don't ruin a good thing on our behalf

[Crispy Heron]

@EdH - looking forward to meeting you and your family as well as a little legal chat.

@Cole there is a bus from Heathrow to Woking and then a train from Woking to Portsmouth. I’ve travelled this route for every party.

The bus takes about 40 minutes and the train about an hour.

Two years ago, the bus was only running once an hour, which was less frequent than past years. The bus also has a tendency to be late.

same, booked at Travellodge, seems we're all staying there, great for late night parties haha

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 thanks homie I appreciate that but either way I'm fecking stoked!
