"Fish'n'Chips" - 2015 - Gosport

@spitfiredealer:

I am thinking of coming down for the Saturday. Is there a list of hotels you recommend @Madame Buttonfly ?
Will have the Mrs and new baby with me so would be like to be as close as possible. Thanks

Other places in Gosport all 1 to 3 miles good walk away, or a few mins by taxi (*good basic hotel, but taxi recommended as not a nice walk down main road with heavy traffic, **often get booked in advance on Saturdays because they are popular wedding venues)

Premier Inn* http://www.premierinn.com/en/hotel/GOSFAR/gosport
The Old Lodge** http://www.alverstokeoldlodge.co.uk/accomodation/
The Anglesey Arms** http://www.angleseyhotel.co.uk
The Alverbank** http://www.alverbankhotel.co.uk

Other places in Portsmouth close to the historic Dockyard, shops and the ferry over to Gosport (travel time to Iron Heart about 20-30 mins total walk to ferry/ferry/walk or ferry Gosport side).

Holiday Inn Express Gunwharf Quays http://www.holidayinn-expressportsmouth.co.uk

Potent booze and a whole lot of IH gear within trying on distance could be a bad day for my wallet!!

It's all true, we plan to get you drunk and empty your wallets 

At least you'll be drunk

I'd be careful about drinking @Megatron1505's homebrew. This is the before.

And after.

I should be arriving London July 8. Is either Paddington or St. Pancras station good to depart from for Portsmouth? Thanks.

You will need to get the underground to London Waterloo. Best route from either to get to waterloo are imo:

• from paddington get the bakerloo line straight to waterloo

• from kings cross get the piccadilly line to piccadilly circus then change at piccadilly circus and get the bakerloo line to waterloo

The train goes from Waterloo to Portsmouth and then you get the ferry to Gosport (ferry is to the left of the exit at Portsmouth). If you book train ticket in advance you can get it for cheaper.

There might be a direct train straight from Paddington but not too my knowledge

This made me giggle!

Can't believe FnC is less than 3 months away, very excited about seeing everyone 

[spitfiredealer]

Is there a plan for the day yet? Or does any plan go out the window once we try mega's home brew…

Very much hoping I can make it, but really don't know whether my new job (as and when I get one, still looking) will allow me the time. Sounds like there will be quite a crowd [emoji3]
