A tricky Commute ?

[namron]

Lets here from some of the more unorthodox routes that some brethren may be making to Twickenham. A few friends of mine are going via the Larne-Stranraer ferry and then a long drive to Londinium. In their honour and that of our fellow Saffers whom have joined our campaign from the other side of the globe I have tweaked a well known slice of church Hymnal


He who would valiant be ’gainst all disaster,
Let him in constancy follow the Ulster.
There’s no discouragement shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim.

Who so beset him round with dismal stories
Do but themselves confound - his strength the more is.
No foes shall stay his might; though he with Leinster fight,
He will make good his right to be a pilgrim.

Since, Lord, Thou dost defend us with Thy Spirit,
We know as at the end, the Trophy inherit.
Then fancies flee away! I’ll fear not what men say,
Cheer Ulster on the day and be a pilgrim.

A new song for the faithful methinks nice tune too

Know a guy flying to Paris, taking the Eurostar over to London, then doing the reverse to get home again. Apparently its cheaper than flying to London and back.

few of us got flights to manchester and trains down for under 100£! heard of a few others heading on the ulsterbus service which is available overnight.

[namron]

That is very doable Scarface Im getting it a bit rough myself having to fly to Heathrow at the ungodly hour of 7.30am no less. Notwithstanding I have just found out that the Prol who booked the Hotel failed to ensure that the Spa facilities are functioning on the Sunday to revive my by then pickled body.

mine's a tough one - wake up in my own comfortable bed at about 10.30 on the morning of the final, have a leisurely breakfast, hop on the train to Waterloo maybe grab a bite of lunch then get the train to Twickers, all-in cost of £8.50 living in London finally pays off

Well it will take me 20 mins on the train and £3.60 return... bus from the end of my road would be a bit cheaper but take longer....

We all know who will win this one-upmanship however, given there is a poster of this parish who lives in Twickenham. I bet he will still be late, however.

What about the guy who cycled to Limerick and then Dublin, he said he would keep following even to Twickenham and he was doing it for sport relief, Neil ? Don't remember his surname, hats of to him if he does the trip

Few of us flying down to Luton from Edinburgh for a decent price, but we booked it after the Munster game.
Trains around £20 return to Twickenham & hotel isn't setting us back too badly!
This was after 3 hours of writing out scenarios to get the prices down, Bargain travel is tricky to say the least, but 13 hours on a bus was not appealing! Student loan well spent I'd say.
