Hmm, the only Hotel I know of that comes recommended in the area is The Big Sleep but it's a good 10 or so miles from the airport.

I don't go to Cardiff much so that's my "local knowledge" exhausted :p

I had a look at that one, but was hoping for something a bit closer to the airport to save pfaffing around with taxis etc. I am keeping an open mind though. If I can get the right hotel at the right price, I can endure a bit of hassle (it's not as if I'm short of time), so keep 'em coming.

Okay you Welsh types (and anyone else who may know about these things):
I am currently trying to find a hotel, handy for Cardiff airport, for the 4th & 8th August.
After various online searches, the only available hotel I have come up with close to the airport is the 'Days Inn' (a bit basic but only £54.95 a night and handy for the airport).
If anyone 'in the know' has any better suggestions, please post on here or e-mail me before 20.00 tomorrow (I really want to get this booked ASAP: a) to ensure booking and b) so I can give Pigmo (Station)* as much time as possible to sort out the best route for transporting myself (picking up Haly on the way) to the venue).

Many thanks

Stan :)

*I have started thinking of Pigmo as Station - two formidable beings who merged to become one super being :)

Station .. LMFAO !!! :D

The Desmo part of Pigmo will be picking you up as I can't get that day off work :)

Oki !

Travel Inn is about 6 miles from Airport - It's also dead easy to find as it's on the route to the airport

Travel Lodge is 8 miles from Airport and is right off the M4 :

Yeah you tell em ! :p

I'll PiggySlap the lot of them don't you worry ;)
 
Thanks Piggy.

Travel Inn looks favourite at the moment. Only fifty quid a night and at least I know what to expect with them (should also be nice and easy for Desmo to find).

Will book tonight when I get back to the flat and e-mail the details to Desmo.

Mmmm, Beefeater. Better strengthen the suspension on the car :D

Looking forward to seeing you again too mate - only 113 days to go (the ladies better start packing now to give them plenty of time to unpack, change things and re-pack 27 times:p )

Stan, no need to go rushing around for just little ol' me :) Only reason I asked is so that I can work out some rough timings on when I'd need to leave Piggy's but it's really no rush.

I've got sat-nav so shouldn't be a problem finding you.

You can always drop it down to me if think you can get here without crashing! :p

I'm still going just now likely to need a lift from the Surbiton area as finally another offer on the house which we are currently considering. They are having a 2nd viewing on Saturday and ex-wife to be has been told not to mess the sale up by being too greedy. So house will likely be sold before the meet :D

So any volunteers for a drive through Surbiton to collect me and various camping and the essential kettle BBQ if we need it.

I wanted to get it sorted as soon as possible anyway, so I didn't have any rushing about nearer the time. Hotels near airports tend to be rather busy at that time of year, so my early booking wasn't entirely for your benefit :)

Wonderful thing, sat-nav, I have no sense of direction whatsoever so I need sat-nav to find the bathroom :o - I always seem to be able to locate a pub, strangely enough :D

Stan :)

Good luck with that in St Petrox! Nearest one is at least a couple of miles away over a few cow fields!

Cows don't scare me :p - although I think half a rucksack full of cans would probably be more practical :D

That was another one of my ideas but she posted it for me as I was suspended at the time :o

Yep, no probs with that mate. I'll be travelling down on the Thursday night so I can either grab it on my way through or pick it up the night before. No problem at all.

I'll drop it off at yours during the week. I apreciate that. :cool:

Hey was in Braintree on Wednesday night.. went to the Mexican and Cineworld.. Very nice Mexican it was too :)
 
I know it's only april, but struggling a bit.

Cant seem to get hold of the person who'd be the best person to have megan for the weekend :(

lol, looking like it might have to be +1 in mine and 8I3ALL's tent unless a miracle happens and Megan magically becomes happy with sleeping at someone else's house without me being there.

Dont worry, I wouldnt really bring her along, if all else fails I'll just have to not come :( such is life.

If you would like to bring her then there is another area of garden where you can pitch a tent away from the masses and noise in either direction should not be a problem, its something to consider. PLus I am sure that Ma and Dad would be happy to make the house available to you for bathing her etc.
