Nick B. Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I am catching a plane bach to denmark monday. Does anyone know a place to sleep near the plough? Preferably not too expensive. Perhap under a table in the plough?? ;)CheersNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferny Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 That's 22miles away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick B. Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Ah - yes - 22 miles would be abit more than preferred. I am lookong for something in walking distance if possible. And I had seen Roys thread - but that was from thursday to friday - I am lokking for sunday to monday.Well - if there is nothing in walking distance from the plough, I will probly just grab a can to stansted and find a BB there.Am I correct when assuming Stansted is no further away than 30ish miles?CheersNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Stansted is 30 miles away.http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=EN2+9DJ&countryCode=GBThat's roughly where The Plough is - between j24 and j25 of the M25 if that helps.This place is 6 miles away; http://www.welcomebreak.co.uk/FindHotel/SouthMimms.htmThis is under 3 miles away;http://www.travelodge.co.uk/search_and_book/hotel_overview.php?hotel_id=339And this just over 3 miles away;http://www.4hotels.co.uk/uk/hotels/enfieldh.htmlI've never used any of those three, I just had 10 minutes free to use google.

James Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I am sure someone will give you a lift - or else you can always order a cab.A cab will be about £30 to Stanstead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I slept on the chairs of stansted I was completely knackered for a week :(I will try to book the Travelodge Cheshunt Hotel, once I can get my creditcard to work properly grrrrr.CheersNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick B. Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Sofar this monday has been miserable. Upon spending a fair amount of my weekend trying to book a room at the chesnut travellodge, I gave up as they kept declining my VIS-card.Phoned the bank this morning. After waiting 10 minutes on hold, I got through. Only to be redirected to their socalled support. After another 5-10 minutes of more on-hold crap music I got their support, who kindly told me, that they did not operate the now upgraded "verified by VISA", but I had to call the PBS customer service. YAWN - another 10 minutes on hold. Finally got through to someone who knew something. They could see in the logs that the Travellodge had sent a request, and the had got a positive feedback from my card. How it got translated into a declined payment they could not tell me.Last resort - I pick up the phone and call directly to the hotel. Alas - another 10 minutes mindless rambling of on-hold marketing shite (to minutes from DK to UK on a mobile phone equates to 3 quid - not happy!) And yes - I could book the room - but I could not get the superduper internet discount. Suddenly the room went from 29 quid for a night to 50 quid.At this time I hung up. Partly because I am a cheap sod, but also because there is NO WAY I am going to pay 21 quid extra cause their internetsolution is crap.Compared to booking a room - actually doing RBRR is going to be a piece of cake :-/CheersNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick B. Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Thanks I have succesfully booked comfort hotel Enfield now. A bit dearer, but at least the accepted my card. Pissed of with travellodge. They certainly lost my business :(Still - now I am set pretty close to the plough - can grab a cab whenever I feel like it.I am not in a rush monday - plane does not leave untill 13.50.Looking forward to seeing you allCheersNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexysi Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 In a TR7!Helpful as always. ;)sexysi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick B. Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Actually, I wouldn't mind a lift in a TR7. Never tried one of those!Been through most triumphs. Still needs to try TR6 and TR7 and acclaim. Plus ofcourse the roadster1800, but that will probably never happen :(CheersNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
