Oh dear! What time to you think you will arrive? Will you be able to find the place OK?

Well I im not sure if I should ride my bike or catch the train, my misses did say she would drop me of at the train station but how far is the station from the venue? not only that not very comfortable sitting there in bike gear! 🙂

If you come out of the train station at the platform 4 side there is a free shuttle bus to the city centre (get off at West Quay), or it's a 10 minute walk up the hill 🙂

Ok super...I have not checked times for train but I'm hoping to be with you guys for about 11.30ish 🙂

Great 🙂 I would say you are better on the train as you would have to find somewhere to park the bike anyway, which would probably mean a bit of a walk and extra expense.

Hope to Steff, Southampton is a place I have never been so am keen to see it. We got very very close once on a football trip to pompey though.

 

[Mark T]

Hope you all have a good time

I think the closest I've been to Southampton city centre is passing through Southampton central on my way to Bournemouth.

It's been a nice sunny evening here, although they are predicting rain for tomorrow which is a shame. Southampton is a nice city, lots of parks and a couple of rivers, best preserved medieval walls in the country and all them rhinos currently

See you all tomorrow! 🙂

Medieval walls it is, just looked at ticket prices for the victory and the warrier ?17 for one person. Looks like finding something of interest in Southampton will be a better option lol.


Oh and my daughter and her boyfriend will be tagging along, so it would have cost me at least ?68 just to look at one ship lol ?136 for two.



Now I sound like a tight wad lol

It's not such a bad deal if you live close enough, as you can get a ticket that lasts a year and allows you to see the Victory, Mary Rose and HMS Warrior as many times as you want. The Victory tour is really good 🙂

Southampton city walls is free though, as are the rhinos!

 

[Steff]

Same as you mark ill be going past it next week son is off to Poole for 10 days to see Granny
