Transport!
Apr. 24th, 2011 11:22 pmI've booked the minibus (sorry, no limo this year, woe) and am ready to ferry people to and from Camp and my house and airports and stuff.
For the benefit of newcomers, what usually happens is that people arrive at Stansted Airport during the morning on the Friday when Camp starts. I will aim to be there with the minibus at around lunchtime, and we'll pootle off to Derbyshire, probably stopping on the way to have some lunch, as we can't get into the house until 4pm anyway. (If you have to fly in to another airport, we can figure things out but we'll need to plan.)
On the return journey, we need to leave the house by 10am, so ideally you'll have a flight booked sometime during that Friday afternoon, and we'll get there in plenty of time.
Other possibilities are that you need to arrive in the UK earlier in the week and would like to be collected from whichever airport and to stay at my house, or
nopseud's house. (If you're staying with someone else I'm assuming they already know and have been primed to meet you!) And/or you may need to stay at my Nest after Camp has ended in order to catch a convenient or cheap flight back home again. I am all in favour of these extended stays, as it prolongs the existence of Camp just a little bit longer.
There should be no problem with any of these things. I hope! I shall have to be at a rehearsal on the Thursday evening before we go, but with luck there will be enough of you at my house by then to entertain yourselves quite happily without me. (Or, hey, come and watch! I like to show off my theatre.)
So, please comment to let us know when you are arriving, at which airport, and whether you'll need to be on the minibus trip.
