Where you are going?

Paris-Paris-Koln-Amsterdam for sure 

Now thinking of Buckley and Manchester. Partly because I still have a few days of holiday at work and partly because I'm in Manchester on thursday 14th for the Gary Numan gig so I just stay there for NMA (and just can't wait untill december).
But is Buckley really in the middle of nowhere? I see there is a trainstation but nearly no hotels. Or is it easier to take the train and get a hotel in Chester on Friday? Getting back to Manchester on friday-night isn't  realistic, I think.  Who can help with some advice?

Buckley is pretty obscure.  it really is a small town in the middle of nowhere.  Maybe 20 miles away from Chester?  You could get taxi's but it would be pretty expensive.  Best to forget about it and go to Manchester, plenty of train and hotel options, IMO.  Hope you make it to as many gigs as you can.

Sadly......... none.

Buckley appears to be in the middle of nowhere, but Chester is not too far away. If you're in Manchester, it's well worth trying to get Buckley sorted out because in the grand scheme of things, it isn't that far.

Well, I *would* be going to the London gig because I live there, but I've got a gig of my own that night. Talk about bad timing, and I can't get out of it...

So, possibly Manchester and Brighton.

Both Manchester Ritz and Brighton Corcorde 2 are cracking good venues... although the latter can be a bugger to find if you don't know Brighton!  Me and my pal Dan went looking for it when we saw Lacuna Coil a couple of years back... it took us ages and Googlemaps is confusing... for the record, its right on the beach front!

oooooooooh thank you very Master Ray and Lawrencecg for the info i'm looking at the details this weekend and making up my mind. I think I will stay in Chester if i'm going to Buckley. There is still a train at 23h30 from Buckley to Chester ;-)

[LCG]

There you go then Obscura. Go for it. Didn't know about that late train. Seems like an option.

Bilston, Falmouth and Frome so far. Just been given the nod for more cases around the country so planning more. Buckley and Manchester look likely.

There's a train station in Buckley? 

Well, it's been the best part of 20 years since I was last there...

plenty of places to stay in Chester... let me work out if this is a do-able thing in view of my current redundant cash-flow situation right now... love to go to Buckley again...

At the moment, my plan is to stay over in Leeds and drive over to Buckley via Manchester (where I live) on the Friday afternoon and then drive back to Manchester on the Friday night after the Buckley gig. That plan MAY change, but if I do drive back to Manchester, I'll have some room in the car...and some room on the way there.

I think it'll be just Manchester, as Brighton's the night before my gig and I won't get home til something like 2am if I'm lucky and the night buses are kind... but thanks for the tip on the Brighton venue, I'm sure that'll come in handy!

On the cards is....Leeds, Manchester, Buckley, Bilsden, Cambridge, London, Notts, Koln, Amsterdam......Just need to sort Koln-'Dam trains........

Woop.
