Event C&PR Railway Visit - Driver for a fiver mug shots!

[Six-cylinder]

A visit to Chinnor and Princess Risborough Railway is easy to arrange.

 

• A few of us could go on spec with normal admission.

 

• We could pre book as a discount party of 8 or more, or for better discounts 15+.

 

• We could take over the whole railway for the day.

 

Dogs and children welcome

[Craig the Princess]

Date dependent I'd like to go.

[Richard]

I'm in.

[hairnet]

date me up

[richardmorris]

Need a date before confirming.

[beko1987]

Myself and Eva are in. I'll pre-warn Auntie Pauline and she can lean over her back fence and wave at us!

[chaseracer]

Always up for a ride on a steam train 

[strangeangel]

Sounds good. I'm in if there's going to be camping?

[Six-cylinder]

The date will depend if we are just going on a normal operating day or if we are going to take over the railway for a day?

 

I reason we need about 35 to make it viable to have exclusive use of the railway.

[Six-cylinder]

Sounds good. I'm in if there's going to be camping?

They don't have anywhere you could camp on site so you would need to arrange a local site. I do have a field you could use for free but it is 30 miles from Chinnor.

[beko1987]

I hope we get 35!

 

Looks like there's camping in Moreton http://www.thedairycampsite.com/pitch-fees.php. Failing that our back lawn could site 2 or 3 tents, or we could hijack breadvans massive massive garden...

camping - youse are deluded

 

the ibis at beaconsfield services is cheap and get 3 in a room for the northerners

[RobT]

Plus 24h mcdonalds! The first thing I did the day I passed my test was drive MYSELF there at 2.30am...

 

There's a travelodge in thame and wheatley. The one at wheatley was recently in the news for having a camera in the shower, which filmed a hottie having a wash http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/11839396/Travelodge-guest-finds-spy-camera-hidden-in-shower-at-Oxford-hotel.html

 

which is right by the asda for cheap fuel (bigger one 11 miles away at Wycombe, same fuel though) so you dont even have to get bum raped at oxford services. I don't know a local supplier of veg though. Should anyone wish to bring some down with them though...

[holbeck]

Count me in.

 

Any chance of driver experience with the Clayton?^^

[strangeangel]

 

 

ibis

 

 

24h mcdonalds

 

 

 

Mmmm... you're not really selling this to me. This looks promising though

 

Am in!

For driver for a fiver days they use the 08 because it is cheap to run and easy to drive!

 

The driver for a fiver would only be if we took over the whole railway.

 

The full driver experience can be had on a different day but is quite expensive.

Am in!

its not a luxury weekend away

 

11.50 a night at ibis - only somewhere to crash innit - cba with 200 miles home after the choo choo

[beko1987]

Takes about 20 minutes to drive, nice waft up the m40. Theres a hotel at oxford services too, no idea what its called though

[strangeangel]

its not a luxury weekend away

 

 

Well, no. That's why I asked about camping... you can't beat a night under canvas

[dugong]

WHEN IS PLS

[chaseracer]

NO YET DECIDE JON

[Arthur Foxhake]

Quite close to me.

 

I'm in.

[dollywobbler]

This sounds like Shitefest 2016 is sorted then. We should have numbers for a takeover I think? A 30 mile drive to a field doesn't sound a hardship either.

[catsinthewelder]

Trains and chod? count me in if the dates are OK.

[beko1987]

If we are turning it into SF16 then I'm bloody camping with you all!

[conkerman]

Sounds good.

 

I'm in. May bring family also.

 

Have driveway and a good selection of hammers and tape for any Shiters who have woes.

 

Gives me time to sort my motors and buy some Chod.

It is no problem for me to open the field up to Shitefest 2016, arrive Friday/Saturday convoy down and return for the weekend. There is mains water but little else, the good news is we don't really have close neighbours to upset so a fire is not a problem if you bring wood. Tesco Buckingham is 3 miles away, again the same for fish and chips and other take aways. I have a light garden marquee 6x3M we can put up, we would need to rent a portaloo.

 

Now 35 blokes with there tool boxes should soon get this lot back on the road in the weekend!

[Richard]

It's starting to look like a plan. I might win the distance award again at 430 miles, unless Sealtainn decides to go.

[beko1987]

Ooooh that looks fun. We tried to get a quad bike running with vodka last year, nearly succeeded too. Fire pit is a must, would glass bottles be an issue? Could we drive the tractor if we get it running?

 

We all chipped in for a portapisser last year, £2 each, dollywobbler sorted it out. We went for a poo at the devils bridge hotel though. Is there some sort of food place we could all have a carvery at on the sat night?

 

30 mile drive will be nothing, we were 5 hours last time getting from a to b
