tbh I'm a lil surprised that with all the great brains on here that not a cunning plan has been hatched... One so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasel. Guess its been a long week..
You could cling to the underside of a Spanish lorry. They won't be expecting that in the opposite direction.
lol I have an Asian mate that went that way from London to Rome.. 3 years back.. He's still there. Ill be ok.. Me dead dad was English so I got a brit passport...
With just a mere hint of a trailing foot so, out of you and Finm we can make one good un, cool , but you both don't have children 2gether :Stop: Thanks :smileys:
We used to fly from stansted with ryanair about £50 each way and cheap hotel in city centre hotel continental. Train from airport to city and to track. We camped trackside 1 year near entrance but no sleep with 600 il4's being red lined every hour on the hour. Drinking choc and dougnuts rings(churrera)on tap at kiosk. Main camping party is in Cheste 3 mile away but we didnt know that.
Day 1, travel from London to Paris on any evening Eurostar you like. The last one usually leaves London St Pancras at 20.01, arriving Paris Nord at 23:17. Cross by metro or taxi to the Gare de Lyon. Stay overnight in Paris. Suggested hotels near the Gare de Lyon with good reviews. Day 2 morning, travel from Paris to Barcelona by double-deck high-speed TGV Duplex, leaving Paris Gare de Lyon daily at 10:07 and arriving Barcelona Sants at 16:34. A café-bar is available on board. Book an upper deck seat for the best views as the train speeds along the scenic Rhône valley past pretty French villages & picturesque churches, then look out for colonies of flamingos on the étangs in southern France. Day 2, an articulated air-conditioned Talgo train leaves Barcelona Sants at 17:00 arriving Tarragona 17:53, Salou 18:05, Valencia Nord at 20:43 and Alicante at 22:47. You can check train times at Renfe Alternatively, from 2 June to 28 August 2016 there's also an earlier 07:15 TGV from Paris arriving Barcelona 13:34, connecting with a Talgo leaving Barcelona Sants at 15:00 and arriving Valencia Nord at 18:28 and Alicante at 20:20. Remember that at Spanish stations there's a brief X-ray baggage check at the entrance to the platforms for high-speed trains. If you have a 1st class ticket you can use the Sala Club 1st class lounge at Barcelona Sants or Alicante for up to 2 hours before your train leaves. Ps copied and pasted from seat 61
Love the idea of travelling on the TGV from Paris to Barcelona, Put in some appropriate dates and was surprised at the price and the speed : 6 1/2 hrs and price of £88 for return possible. Great views looking out the window. Paris to Barcelona by TGV train | Tickets from €59, £44, $68
still seem available Chizel I put in some dates for you: outbound on the 10th, return Monday from Heathrow. https://www.skyscanner.net/transpor...ed=false&ref=flights_seo_landing_page#results
Sorry Chizel those flights were to Barcelona, to Valencia here: seems it's cheaper from LGW though! Possible for £117 https://www.skyscanner.net/transpor...ed=false&ref=flights_seo_landing_page#results
right, have just booked a flight from stanstead on the 10th return on the 17th for £50.00! All I need now is somewhere to sleep and tickets to track! And I have a bud coming with me so he can drive hire car which we can sleep in at worst!
