Bristol Spring 2010

To be honest, the earlier you arrive is better for me, also means less disruption for poor old Kris who has to just put up with us all weekend :P If 10 was good, that is good for me too... make it that time!

I have given Sebastien and Erik a map to get to mine, so it's not crucial to meet them if you need letting in. Might just give someone else a key for the weekend. Easier that way.

In other news, if you are staying at mine I plan to have extreme sandwich provisions so you can make yourselves sandwiches to take for Saturday to help with FMC timing issues. There will be great amounts of crisps/chocolate/fruit/drinks at the comp as there were last time.
 
hi Charlie do u know any scenic spots in Bristol? i'm arriving on Friday morning, so after dropping my luggage in the hostel i found nothing to do:(

Err nope. That's a lie. You could go to the zoo if you wanted... or the suspension bridge in Clifton is always a favourite for visitors. Failing that the "downs" (at the top of whiteladies road) are okay to wander around on as long as the weather is okay! We could have met up, but I have uni!

1. Why not just get a train to Sheffield and meet them there? To be more specific, when Michael says what time the pick up will be from Sheffield train station, why not just meet them there in the car drop off area, which will be clearly signposted inside the station? :)
2. I sent you a pretty extensive PM about taxis in Bristol.

We can probably pick you up in Manchester now if you get over to Joey's by about 7-7.30pm (PM Joey for details). Then when we land in Bristol we'll sort you out a way to get to your digs.

1. i am a bad traveller and get lost on public transport, a lot!
2. i deleted it :s but i'm sure it wont be too hard with all the people who have been before.

PS sorry for the double posts, i still get confused by all the quote tags.

Oh btw andy. As Michael said.. there isn't a lot of room in the car. So you'll have to pick what you bring pretty carefully.

yeah mike told me about this.
i wont need a sleeping bag as i'm at the hostel and clothes wise i'm pretty much wearing what i need with a tee and fresh boxers in my bag with a small selection of puzzles in my bag which is small and i dont mind holding on my lap.

Yes, I'm cutting back severely on my usual competition luggage! I'm only bringing a small subset of my puzzle collection - upside: hopefully I'll be able to keep better track of them! I'm only bringing one crate of beers to share - upside: I'll be less likely to act a fool! I'm not bringing my skateboard - upside: I won't go off and get myself hurt! I'm bringing less geek-gadgets - upside: printed scrambles and a pen FTW!
 
Yeah also we do have wireless here if anyone wants to use it (by here I mean my house) but I have no idea what the password is :P and I have NO idea to find that tiny detail out either :p

One crate of beers is still great :D We aren't as numerous, so it should be fine. Can always dash out for more.

Yes, but only as part of a full CubeSmith set in standard Square-1 colours. If you want them they're yours for the cost price!

white opposite yellow? - i dont know if this is square 1 colours or not (noobishly) but i keep all my cube puzzles with this scheme. if so i'll take them.
