Eastbourne Sat Aug 13

I have just secured cheap tickets to Eastbourne from the Southern Trains site - if anyone wants to join me on the day here are my travel details!

Note I have Busplus added to these, as there a couple of places out of town that look good.

Be rude not to join you as I'm living in Eastbourne at the moment. Hope you like Harveys Best!

Marvellous! I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of HSB, but when in Rome...!

I'm already regretting asking but... Eh? Are you getting your Harveys & Gales mixed up there Quinno?

Ah... Harveys Sussex Best, I've taken my coat & already left.

[Quinno]

OK, so Eastbourne is this weekend coming (presuming Clapham Junction hasn't burnt down by this stage).

Jym, Strongers, are you still coming?

Anyone else?

[Farway]

Not for me, beyond my comfort & easy travel zone I'm afraid

[Strongers]

I've only just twigged that your visit coincides with Airbourne (not sure if you planned it that way?)... My two brothers and the old man are down from London and we will be in town most of the day, but we will be drinking along the seafront watching the displays rather than crawling the pubs. You're welcome to join us at some point if you want.

Could be a noisy crawl, I bet whoever goes will just have to look up

2011 will see the iconic Red Arrows leading a packed programme featuring the best of the RAF and international display teams across the eight miles of seafront and over national beauty spot Beachy Head.

Flying displays include the RAF Red Arrows, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, F16, plus parachute display teams, wingwalkers, helicopters and aerobatic teams.

......or you can watch the live stream through the website from Thursday 11 August.

Or for those in the west, how about Bournemouth?

Anyone know if there's a regular bus to Willingdon or Beachy Head? I have a Plusbus and am determined to use it!

[Strongers]

If you walk down Terminus road next to the station you will see lots of bus stops with buses heading in every direction. Be careful as many routes finish around 19:00/19:30 and a lot are hourly.

Willingdon isn't actually that much of a walk from Hampden Park Railway Station which is the stop before Eastbourne.

14 in total, though there’s no way we’ll do them all of course and two are JDW’s. Having had a quick look, I’d say get the bus to Hailsham, calling back at Willingdon, then hit town.........:nishelypished::drinkup::nishelypishe d::drinkup::nishelypished:
