    Hahaha i meant it the other way around xD
    I went 19 a few months ago, it'd kinda feel weird if everyone else was like 25+ :P
    It's a student, pretty much everybody going will be either a 6th form student, so 18, or in University, so 19 to 23. Obviously there are a couple of people booked up who have graduated and so are a bit older but the vast majority will be Uni student age.

    Re: Maybe gonna go
    Hahaha still haven't got round to it but gonna do it within a few days xD - just got one question though

    If we have to get down to london, i've only been there one before, will it be easy to find out how to get to the coach?? I may get a lift down so it might not be a problem, it's just if i end up taking the train



    Also it's not a massive sausage fest right?? My uni is (like around 6 guys to a girl i think or something really bad lol), and most people don't go outside, so i'd love to go and meet some more people anyway, i'd just like to know before cuz otherwise it'll be bugging me haha XD

    Well I'm a girl. And I've never been to London before in my entire life. It's gonna be interesting!

    Well they're not going to say "get the coach in London", they'll say "get the coach at x place in London". So far, it seems as though that place is a tube station, so it sounds pretty damn accessible and relatively simple to get to - just get on the right tube line....

    Don't have to worry about that for aaaages yet, anyway.

    Then pay for a private jet all the way to Alpe d'Huez

    And you'll have plenty of time on a shared - but private - coach to get over it!

    I'll be fine on the TSR coach... just getting to that point is the hard bit. It's fine. I'll get sedatives or something to survive London

    Well how far do you have to go? Can't imagine there'd be too much... Getting off whatever train into London you need, getting onto the tube, maybe one change on the tube, then to the coach. Simple enough, no?

    Not as if you'll be wielding skis as you go unlike some!

    Well you'll know the exact location in advance and be able to plan your journey so don't worry. Where you coming from?

    Umm, no idea, never even considered it.

    Re: Maybe gonna go
    I'm from huddersfield so fairly far away lol, the time i went to london was probably before i was in high school so it's gonna be fun finding my way around >.<

    and i was just curious because i've got some decent friends from back home, but in terms of girls at this uni, i know around like 6 or something I'd at least say hi to, and that's better than a lot of people here haha :/

    Yeah well if you arrive on train all you need to do is plan a tube route in advance, you won't need to navigate streets and you just follow signs in tube stations. Worry about it nearer the time when we know finer details

    I'm pretty sure a few of us could meet up at various train station anyway - nobody is gonna leave you wandering London completely alone and I imagine there's gonna be a fair few of us arriving at the same time. No need to worry really!

    Shouldd I assume, therefore, you've completely missed all the chatter - and the thread - about there potentially being a northern pickup, therefore eliminating any need on your part to travel hundreds of miles by train?
    See this thread for more info.

    lol I won't particulary mind it if i have to find my way around, but meeting others at stations would be a cool idea
