Re: Enid Blyton Day 2009
If you are planning to stay for several days in London, Oscar, you might wish to consider getting an Oyster Card. This is a much cheaper way of travelling around the capital. A single Underground journey costs £4 (even just one station away), yet with an Oyster Card, it falls to £1.50. It also caps at about £3.50 per day, so the more you use it the more you save!It is valid on Tube and bus routes.

here I am!
What would you like to know?
BY the way! This might be my last EB day! AS I'm off to uni sometime in September!

That's a shame, Steph, but you could always throw a sicky (But don't tell anyone I said so)

Re: Enid Blyton Day 2009
Where are you going to uni? You probably wouldn't have classes on a saturday so depending on distance it might still be possible to attend.

Re: Enid Blyton Day 2009
I've applied for five places. Keele, Plymouth, St Marys (Twickenum) Bournemouth and Canterbury. So about three are not too far away, but theres the cost to consider as well LS.
It depends on exams and things as well.
I just want to get out of school at the moment!

Re: Enid Blyton Day 2009
You Ideally want Heathrow Airport.
Then you book a ticket on a couch line called Reading to Heathrow, which brings you into Berkshire.
Reading is what's locally known "Town". After there you have a choice of Busses to Woodely, Twyford, Lower Early, etc, or Taxis, which will take you whereever you choose to stay. May I suggest hiring a car maybe? From heathrow? Then you'd have transport for the duration of your stay, and makes it easier to get to Twyford, which takes a bit of Naigavtion.
I am happy to provide maps from where ever anyone stays to Loddon Hall, being local and all!

Re: Enid Blyton Day 2009
Do you know of any Self Catering in the area of Twyford, Steph? Last year we stayed in Bassingstoke. But a bit nearer would be better for us.

Re: Enid Blyton Day 2009
There are certainly a few places around.
I'll dust off the copy of The Thomas Local and Post a few up here. If I get time.
Exam on Monday!
