Well, things went 'mostly' to plan... I arrived at Man'Piccadilly railway station about 50min early, despite much of the way there being closed for the 10K run, but just before 8am, the train at 8:20am I was supposed to be on to London got cancelled, thankfully they told us to get on the 8:05am train instead, so set off a little earlier than scheduled! Thing is, about 10min after the train set off, I received a notification on the Trainline app that the 8:20am had been reinstated... the muppets!

Journey down wasn't too bad, just a few hours on Avanti's uncomfortable carriage seats, but the biggest problem was the London underground, virtually no clear signage as to which platform to go to, so spent a lot longer trying to get one of the attendants to ask where to go, so missed the early tube train that I could have got to arrive at the venue before the doors opened! Journey back was much the same issues!

All said, the day went well, I achieved all my goals, didn't spend too much thankfully), the burger I had there was delicious, though next time I'll bring one of those folding festival stools.... my feet are still killing me! 😆
