Sorry for the confusion. Yes, my plan is first to attend the empeg meet, then to fly to Germany for my meeting. As such, places like London Stansted are very much a valid alternative if the flights are right. I'm asking for advice about making this particular connection.

Ryan Air... man the stories I hear about them frighten me. They make Southwest Airlines sound positively posh.

tanstaafl.

It is hard to say who is more responsible, the passengers or RyanAir themselves. RyanAir wouldn't do all the crazy stuff they do if the passengers weren't agreeing to do all the outrageous things they do for cheap airfare. A few years ago RyanAir was fined for having people in the lavatory during take-off and landing, since there were no empty seats. Who agrees to do that (and who thinks that is a good idea from an airline standpoint)?

Any more detail on program/schedule? I might be able to be there for *part* of the weekend...

I will be at the meet.

This is not a surprise

And welcome back ??? (hopefully!)

Cheers

Cris

I will not be at the meet. (And I swore I'd make this one.)

Gonna try.....

We'll be there.

I want to come, and most probably will.
But this is one week before I'm 4 weeks off, and leave for a motorcycle trip to the north cape. My boss won't appreciate it if I take even more days off, so it would only be from Friday evening (and night) till Sunday for me.

Ah, Nordkapp on a bike - great! Just take a full face helmet - protects against the mosquitoes and midges

Will it keep out the reindeer too?

No, but if you have high enough speed when you hit them, you'll just fly over... A collegue of me tested that a couple of years ago...

Stig

Good point. I realized that in the summer the reindeer prefer open, windy places as the wind keeps the mosquitoes at bay. Unfortunately the best open space is the highway...

Well, i'll have some american guy in a rental car driving in front of me from Oslo, so he can catch the reindeer first.

We'll be there, too

This time I could be there as well, with my gf!

She needs to be in London on that same week, so maybe I can work it all out in the weekend, when more details are available.

Indeed, I guess we are all eagerly waiting for more details to see how we can arrange things.

Bumping an old thread... any new news on the agenda? I need to book my travels soon. Right now, my thought is that I'll fly in for the beginning and leave on Sunday, with the particulars to be determined by available flights and train connections.

Same problem - running out of time to make any arrangements

Have a look over here.

Excellent! Will see what I can do to drag my sorry backside there!

And for anyone browsing without Flash, the hotel link you need is http://www.thespringfield.co.uk/pleasure/default.aspx

Ok, flight and room's booked.
For everyone who hasn't booked a room yet - hurry up, as according to the receptionist there are only a view rooms left at that weekend.

Cherrs,

Peter

Just booked our room, really looking forward to it.

Room from Friday to Monday has been booked, now it's time to book some flights as well...

Stig

High-season flights are way too expensive from here, so do take lots of photos for us folk who are stuck at home!

Please register ASAP so Rob S can review the numbers for each part of the event. You can change your details later if you need to.

Rob

Is there any information about which events that can be combined on Sunday? Or are they all excluding each other?
