I've got a friend who lives in Northampton and we're thinking of a night out on the Friday .... can't do Sat as I'm useless at waking up with no sleep

 

[Stu DemonD]

Night out - awesome

 

[ben]

Was hoping you'd be up for it... After party at your place

How much are taxis in NH? Say for example from the city center back to the campsite?

 

[Percyhahn]

from northampton city centre to lutterworth? at least 50quid surely?

 

[ben]

I guess that's ok for 5 to share.

 

[Stu DemonD]

City centre? We are still a town...

I have a few taxi drivers on my books but they don't do nights. I will find out the cost though.

 

[ben]

You have night buses out there?

 

[Stu DemonD]

You have night buses out there?

Do I look like I get a bus...

Last ones tend to finish around 11pm, sometimes earlier. What route you thinking of - back to mine? Or Lutterworth - no chance....

 

[ben]

Well if there was a big group at the campsite - it would need to go there.

Hey! Dave could pick us all up in the bus! Finally put it to some good use

 

[Stu DemonD]

Only choice would be taxis I reckon! Not cheap, although you could pre-book a 7 or 8 seater.

 

[dave]

there no many seats in the bus and you will be driving it anyway i be in a car, and you not allowed out night before you be too fecked to work and we dont finish setting up till 10 at nigh do we. you can go out on the saturday night

 

[ben]

Hehe. If I got out sat, I'll never be up sunday. Fri night and up in the afternoon no worries

Plus we'll have a bigger team this time ... Hopefully!

 

[dave]

ah show is on sunday? thats ok then we let you go out friday i wont be there friday though

 

[Percyhahn]

im coming up with my brother on the friday

 

[ben]

A Friday night out then looks very promising. Just need to wait for Stu's taxi quote before we do too much planning

 

[Stu DemonD]

Where you staying, that Brook Meadow place?

 

[ben]

Yes please

sounds good to me , iv not been out in northampton before either, so will be a 1st

 

[Stu DemonD]

I text my taxi mate, who then spoke to the controller of another firm (whom I know as well) - he said around £30 on a Friday night, from Northampton town centre to Sibbertoft.

Of course, you would need to get in as well - plus may be possible to get a larger one with more seats if needed.

 

[ben]

That's pretty reasonable then. We could drive in with one car, leave it overnight and drive back the next day to pick it up

Question now then is - how many people up for camping?
