Wrong kind of slow on the track...
Jan. 31st, 2003 11:15 pmPopped into London to see
duranorak briefly today. Well, I saw her briefly. The 'popping into London' bit was rather more drawn out, relying as it did on public transport.
I spent at least 7 hours today either standing around in train stations, or (when I got really lucky) riding on very slow moving trains. I've never quite understood what it is about a few inches of snow that manages to totally decimate a transport system based on vehicles that weigh hundreds of tonnes.
Anyway, finally made it back to Cambridge a couple of hours ago and decided that I'd had enough of travelling for one day. I'll do the drive home in daylight tomorrow, so I can see where the less grippy bits of B-road are...

Date: 2003-02-01 08:18 am (UTC)Hrm. Or we could drive back to Cambridge after skating, actually - it finishes at 11pm so we'd be back in Cambridge by 1am. Pick any day when you don't have early lectures, in that case.
The best nights to go used to be Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat, but I can check what they are these days as that info is years old.
I'm all excited now :)
