Bravo! My trip was straightforward enough.Hornet wrote:1pm Friday during a Works seminar, Text from other half advising me Heathrow flights were being cancelled. Got onto BA website to find my flight cancelled. Phone BA and after 25 minute wait got through. Put onto an earlier flight, which I am assured was going. Leave work early. Arrive Dublin Airport to find BA check-in overrun. Girl handing out food vouchers advises all flights cancelled. Take voucher, have McDonalds and plan alternative route. Friday 7pm Dublin Ferry Port. Rail Sail to Exeter. Ferry leaves on time. Arrives in Holyhead in a blizzard! Takes an hour to get from the Ferry to the Terminal Building due to jackknifed lorry in the Port, plus the closure of the A55 main road out of the port to all HGV's (HGV's backing up from the two ferries that have just arrived). Advised that no trains running due to snow. (There was a foot of the stuff in Holyhead). Arriva Train Wales service to Cardiff leaves bang on time at 4:25am. Arrive Newport 9am. Change into 9:15am First Great Western train to Taunton, which also arrives bang on time. Arrive Taunton 10:50. Change into 11:15am Cross Country Train to Exeter, which again arrives bang on time. Arrive Exeter 11:45am after nearly 21 hours of Travelling. Came back this evening, leaving Exeter on the bus to the Airport at 4:45pm and walking through the front door in Kilnamanagh at 9:30pm.

Fair play to the fans who took planes, train and automobiles to get to Exeter though, some of them travelling 18/19 hours to get there. The team had seen them all rushing around frantically rebooking flights and really appreciated the effort so much so that Joe called into the Walkabout on Friday night to thank them all for their efforts.
Fantastic Cathedral, also got some superb snow scenes around Bristol at 3am earlier that morning waiting for the 5.30 to Exeter.domhnallj wrote:Bravo!

Get in car and drive for six hours to Exeter. Arrive at 1pm and watch Footrush taking pictures of cathedral; then have a pasty. Go to ground and get a free voucher for another pasty (well done Chiefs) and have a coffee. Watch game. Go on beer. Next day get in car and drive for six hours back to the north-east; make spagbol for tea.
