I will see if there are nice cheap flights and other travel goes nicely. Is it easy to get to Guildford from London? Also if I'm coming I might spend a little more time in UK and will take offers on couches to sleep on

Yeah it's really easy to get from Heathrow and Gatwick into Guildford. There's the options of buses or trains however I don't really know that much about the buses.

Heathrow is pretty horrible for Guildford on public transport as far as I know. Gatwick is one 45 minute train - really easy.

I don't remember Heathrow as being terrible on public transport? there's a direct train iirc.

There's no direct train. The train website says just under an hour for a bus to Woking then a train. So that's actually pretty good. For some reason I was thinking it was 2 hours or so on 3 or 4 trains.

ohh ya, that's why I couldn't remember if I took the bus or train haha, I was pretty sure I took a bus from Heathrow but I was also pretty certain that I arrived in a train with Joey. yeah, Woking. I would not say Heathrow is bad, but I can see your point about Gatwick.

Yeah, it'll happen. The venue is provisionally booked. I need to find time to get the initial stuff done though.
