Camping at that Lavernock place that the OLSC tipped us off about...

Putting up a tent should be fun :|

Yep, seen one messy Sat night in Cardiff, seen them all! Have done it for the last two internationals and it's been a good call both times.

We're flying to London and getting the train to Cardiff on Saturday morning and coming back through london on Sunday.

One slight problem though..... nowhere to stay on the Saturday in Cardiff.
Our train back to London on Sunday morning is 7.30 so we are going to try and pull an all nighter.

Anyone got any better suggestions?

Or anywhere that we might be able to kip for a couple of hours? Like a McDonalds? :-)
