Day 4 - Saturday, May 30
This is our AeroExpo day - we are invited to the show, so no entrance fees do apply. We have a full day of visiting the show. In the evening, Cirrus UK will host a party for us in the Aerodrome hotel. Later that night, shuttle buses will bring us back to the Kettering Park Hotel.
Day 5 - Sunday, May 31
This is Departure day - say Farewell to Northamptonshire, Kettering and Sywell - fly your Cirrus home to your place and tell all your friends what a wonderful Migration you had.
A quick question for those who know these things:
I’m still working my schedule but hope to join you all for this terrific event. I note that there’s a pretty good connection, via Tube from Heathrow, then a change to British Rail at, I believe, St. Pancras Station to arrive at Kettering; with luck, about a two hour or so trip. Does that make logistical sense? What are the options, given that I am smart enough not to hire a car and try to drive myself after traveling all night. I’m given to also understand that Sundays are not the best days to try and take rail back to Heathrow, as that’s track repair day throughout the UK. Smart move is to book my return on Monday and either take my time getting down to Heathrow on Sunday and stay overnight at the hotel(s) near there or stay in Kettering Sunday night and allow enough time to get down first thing Monday morning.
So, advice and ideas solicited and gratefully accepted,
Be safe and have fun,
