Mrs C, - J4 is no problem. I shall be travelling from near J5 of M4.

Kingstonian, so sorry that you are not going to be able to make it. Hope to meet you at another meetup.

Hi Karuna

Glad to hear you'll be there.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?li=d&h...L42E3ALPnIjuAg may help (if I've done it right).

Of course, this assumes you're driving and unable to take advantage of the numerous shortcuts that a walker could use. If you plan it right you could check out the Apple en route to the venue.

On the other hand V and I will be driving around Bristol (sadly, probably from Ikea - to which downtown Ulanbataar has been compared favourably), so if you'd like a lift just PM me and I'm sure we can arrange something!

Mike

Are you both talking about the same Motorway? I thought Mrs C mentioned the M3, but sssall is coming down the M4. Could be a long walk for someone!

Have a great day! (trying to be nice about it ...)

Thank you for consider it anyway, very kind of you!
Bloody cars.

Ours has been rusting in the garden for far too long now. Combination of too much affection for the old gal and sheer disorganised uselessness on our part means we've not got round to having her scrapped yet.

Cambelt and clutch? Ouch.

The above kind of answers the question about me driving or not....nope! Train for me! Thanks for the lift offer mikewill, I'll PM from here, shall I?

I'll be going down the M25 , then M3 J4 to pick up Mrs C before rejoining M4 via Bracknell. Hope this clarifies any confusion.

Sorry to hear the bad news Kingstonian. Hope you solve all the problems with a minimum of stress. We'll meet again next time around!

Yes, I'll look out for it.

Now, if there's still anyone out there who isn't aware there's a Bristol meet this Saturday thay can hardly fail to notice this stream of posts! I'm planning to confirm with Krishna's Inn on Thursday evening so feel free to join in.

he is looking forward to seeing you all again.

kind regards

FYI - I believe this issue has been fixed. The password reset emails were probably getting sent to the Spam folder in Hotmail.

OK, haven't been online for a while.. But I agree.. I think it should be renamed as UK meet up so we can do IM tour of the country... London, Bristol, may be Leicester next as I love Indian restaurants there.

I'm up for the 5th.. Where are we meeting up? What time? Anyone wants lift from London, there is plenty of space in my car..

OK. Karuna gets in around same time. We'll meet you all at the station before 12. Look out for a red Seat Leon. Check my details for approximate appearance! Easy!

Hi Londoner. Glad you'll be able to make it. We're meeting at Krishna's Inn on the Triangle at 12:30. Allow a little time to find a parking space in that area. See this map link http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?li=d&h...L42E3ALPnIjuAg for location.

sssall is driving down from London too and collecting mrs c

And tony little is coming from sunny Ross - glad to see you're back tony!

Looking forward to this! Great Kerala fish curry and some very nice veggie ones too.

Finally managed to refind their website!

Here it is: http://krishnasinn.co.uk/

I keep asking them to open one in Exeter - those of you in London have more luck, but no cider!
