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

not done any work today at all too knackered where is everyone? I'm bored! *fiddles with a pair of handcuffs and accidentaly handcuss himse to the chair *unlocks handcuffs I'm bored! maybe if I got a job I wouldn't be .... oh, yeh, I've got a job ... anyone want to do a long walk? I just had this idea, lets walk about the entire coast of the UK might take a while lets get the Beeb to sponsor us and we can do an audio journal of it and they can knock out a few programs on radio four about it kind of long winded on foot long distance pub crawl come on, I'm bored, let start off

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah pub crawl! I'm in!

Right... if you start off walking now, down the coast, I'll begin walking up... and we should meet... say near blackpool ?

Okay!

I'll meet you in the back bar of the Grand hotel; its on the front I seem to recall

Excellent!

Hang on, I've got a better idea... why don't we get the train? Then we can get to the bar much, much quicker.

yeh, that sounds cool.... tell you what, I'll go book a ticket now... see you ... say in the Olde London on Ludgate street, say.... on the ... 16 july?

Hang on a minute... *checks diary*... yes, I'm free that day.

We must get another Badger regis type weekend meet organised again soon I like the idea of blackpool... or scarburhg... or... somewhere... like tthat Oo, I could probably get a real cheap deal on a hotel In Lowestoft

Hmmm, yes, Lowestoft... nice... easy to get to... especially from here... you just have to change at Edinburgh... and again at Peterborough... and again at Norwich.

Exactly

Well, we were kind of toying with the idea of having a weekend-meet-type-thing in Berwick... it's about as far into England as we could persuade the Scottish Researchers Group to travel.

Hmm, where is burwich? or whatever its alled Don't think I've even heard of the place before!

Berwick Upon Tweed... on the east coast, about as far north as you can go without crossing the border into Scotland.

so... that'd be like a eight hour journey for me probably

Nah, nothing like that I'm sure! Where would you be leaving from?

Calafornia. no. Cambridge

From Cambridge it's a doddle, four and a half hours on the train, changing at Ely and Peterborough.

From California, just catch a plane to London and you can take the East Coast main line straight up to Berwick in about three hours. Unless you meant the California near Great Yarmouth? Or the one near Falkirk?

Pressumbably I could also go via londond from Cambridge, get the quick train in to Kings X, which takes 48 mins, then get the east coast mainline up

I would imagine so... it would probably cost a bit more though.
