h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I think MMF may have a list, probably best to go ask him... he's been organising that side of things

At the moment those confirmed are:

Gnomon + 1,
Wood Pigeon
MMF

I am waiting for others to confirm.

Contact by e-mail is appreciated, and mobile number supplied by return.

MMF



BTW, please be aware the Piccadilly line is not stopping at King's Cross.

Ah, didn't realise we needed to confirm individually. I'm coming, plus one, and afaik Skankyrich is as well, probably be with me by then.

I'll recognise Gnomon.

Yep, I'll be there

I've got Gnomon's number in case of any problems, too.

You'll have mine too, just as soon as I get round to sorting out emails....

No rush, me dear

That's great. I can't be missed. I'm the one with the walking stick, black bag, three pairs of binos and a digicam. I'm not bringing the scope as it and not terribly clear. Plus it is one less thing to carry.

I'm hoping to be there trying to get rid of glorious bratlets for the afternoon, else I'll come with them in tow and then prolly not stay long enough to be irksome.

I'll drop you an email, I should be at the wetlands centre but don't wait for me, you know what my timing is like

[BB]

I remember it

I would also like to go to the Meet... Hopefully I can make it next time.

Have loads of fun, don´t get too and avoid on Dontbry!

argh, I'm sorry, I'm not going to be able to make the afternoon meet after all.

I haven't got anyone to leave my son and dogs with for the day, as something has come up for my mum. I will still be there in the evening though.

Sorry to hear that, Mina, but we'll see you in the evening.

No probs, Mina

Now, how do I get from Paddington to the Welands centre, and how long will it take? London befuddles me slightly

I'd ask this site:

http://www.transportdirect.info/

The transport for london site might be helpful I think that includes tube and bus and train possibly right... I really oughta go pop out and buy me a new spandex bodysuit to wear to the meet

From Paddington, you should hop on the tube to Hammersmith, once there, cross over to the 'other' Hammersmith station (sorry, can't remember the name of it) and catch either a 33 or 72 or 283 bus, and asked to be dropped off near the Wetlands centre, most bus drivers are happy to give you a shout out. Otherwise, just look out for The Red Lion pub as you get to Barnes, the bus stops a few yards past the pub. Backtrack from the bus stop towards the pub and you'll come to a wee slip road called Queen Elizabeth's Walk, turn right into the road and after around a 5 minute walk you'll come to the Wetlands.

Rich, your best bet is probably going to be:

Paddington train to East Putney station
Walk to Putney station
Train to Barnes station
Walk or bus to the Wetland Centre

Otherwise, coming through Hammersmith is best as the buses are really easy from there.

Buses include 72, 337 and I think it's the 283 direct Wetland service from Hammersmith.

From Hammersmith Tube take the 283, our specially branded Duck Bus from stand C, which will bring you directly into the centre. Alternatively, buses 33, 72 and 209 stop nearby (alight at the Red Lion Pub). These buses leave Hammersmith bus station from stand B. From Barnes mainline station take bus 33 or 72 or from Barnes Bridge take bus 209
