Swedish escape to the country - part 1 - BRISTOL
Details
http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/6/f/e/event_116090942.jpegWe're going to venture out into the country on Sunday 20 May for a fun day trip to Bristol. We'll catch a train from London Paddington Station in the morning and spend the day to discover lovely Bristol, the home of Wallace an Gromit (http://www.wallaceandgromit.com/), the Clifton Suspension Bridge (http://www.cliftonbridge.org.uk/) (picture), Brunel's SS Great Britain (http://www.ssgreatbritain.org/), Bansky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksy), M Shed (http://mshed.org/), Skins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skins_(TV_series)), Pero's Bridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pero's_Bridge), the river Avon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Avon_(Bristol)), Bristol Cathedral (http://www.bristol-cathedral.co.uk/) and so much more...

If you would like to join this tour, then RSVP now and book your train tickets in advance, as this will be cheaper (currently under £30).
James and Eidgee are organising the event and the train out of Paddington we have chosen in the morning is the 9:03 First Great Western Train that gets to Bristol Temple Meads at 10:54.
For the return jouney, we opted for a late departure at 21:00 from Bristol Temple Meads that gets into Paddington at 23:01 (with a change at Reading).
Of course, you are free to book an earlier train back home, if you think that's too late.
With regards to the actual program of the day, we are not committed to anything at the moment and might just develop a bit more of a structure once we know how many we will be.
According to Wikipedia, Bristol is one of the warmest and sunniest cities in the UK - which gives us some hope on a miserably grey day like today that there will be some nice weather waiting for us.
We will however take the Swedish Scrabble board with us - just in case the weather gods are not on our side :-)
