Guest Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I'll be going on the Sunday as travelling home on the Saturday from abroad. Quote
Gin Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Hahah for Christmas amongst his presents I got him a new Knox back protector and full Kreiga texiles.. Can you see a theme here? He's really keen to get on a bike this year as he hasn't been able to yet, so he's almost the one hauling me out of bed at the crack of dawn to get to these shows! Which I'm loving cos I get to see them all through his eyes with the wonder and excitement that I had when I was just starting biking too So yeah, will be at the Excel for sure as it's not that far from my mams house.. Hoggs, this should be an easy-ish one for you to get to as well! Quote
Hoggs Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Hoggs, this should be an easy-ish one for you to get to as well! Hmmm I wasn't planning on going this year..... but there is free bike parking.... and I get to look at bikes..... I'll see what the OH is doing and see if my dad fancies a trip to London! Not sure if he'd want to brave the North Circular though Quote

Gin Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I've already told the partner it's happening and thrown it in our iCloud calender Sunday.. What time and where?Have to admit I can't remember the food places in the Excel very well as it's been a while since I went (and even then I think it was a GW / Table top games / DnD event).. Quote
Hoggs Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Have to admit I can't remember the food places in the Excel very well I think last time we went to a burger place on a back wall and it was not good There's a rough map here!http://bauermediapacks.com/downloads/mcn/lmssales.pdf Quote
Glorian Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Best off heading into london for food, though i usually attend via the train as i cba to ride through london Quote
Joeman Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Yeh i'll get the train. Last year i drove and got stuck in the queue for an hour.I'll aim for mid morning. Quote
JRH Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Have to admit I can't remember the food places in the Excel very well I think last time we went to a burger place on a back wall and it was not good There's a rough map here!http://bauermediapacks.com/downloads/mcn/lmssales.pdf Last time, didn't we leave the show hall and get something from the eateries in the main vestibule area? Which was better that the burgers the time before. Quote
Hoggs Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Last time, didn't we leave the show hall and get something from the eateries in the main vestibule area? Which was better that the burgers the time before. Ah you may be correct there. I'd forgotten we'd been twice.... http://excel.london/food-and-drink Maybe either the burger or pasty place? Quote
Glorian Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I had a panini from place near the door. It was "warm" and expensive. I'll just head to liverpool street or the lark and get something so many places in london to eat. Your hand is stamped to get back in anyhow. Quote
Guest Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Hey, just wondering if anyone has any information about this show, I have not been before but I have heard on the grapevine it is worth a visit. Is anyone going from the Manchester area? Quote
