Ok sounds good to me, hope to have a working 480 to drive there, but will go anyway. Might have to fly if the car is unwell, as I'm not driving all the way in a van.

Any tips on local B+B / hotels would be good to have, because it's a bit cold to do camping / sleep in the car.

I have got to work the 6th

Hence any change from that date and i will book time off from work. I have been called in to work on this day as they are very short and there is no way of getting out of it

So is it going to be the 5th and 6th because I'll have the book time off. I'm also booking the Friday and Monday off I guess we can do the travelling on the Mondays and Friday and have two full days up there, what does everyone think?

Oh and what about B&Bs Mruf are there any good ones nearby because we'll have to book them too.

heres a few places with varying rates. if anyone want to stay in a hotel and is feeling flush i used to work for a big hotel company and can probably sort you out with a discount, no promises though!

It's a quiet time of the year, so it's worth trying to do a group booking if possible. It should save some money that way, as the hotel would likely be almost empty otherwise. It's worth a try at least.

Don't know what chain of hotels it is, but Anglian Water group has disscout deals with some, I may be able to do something there too. I'm thinking that the fact that everyone drives a 480 might give that one away though.

right, i'll ty to get a price off them tomorrow. they are less of a chain now cos they sold off all the hotels bar two. they owe me a couple of favours and its time to cash em in!!
might still be expensive though as its 5 star!
anyone thats skint can stay in my living room or VDG has a big empty flat, if you helped him tidy it i'm sure he would let some peeps stay there!!
