G8 Protest - advice wanted

Charles | 10.06.2005 16:36

We are small group coming up from London and are looking for advice re a visit to protest at the G8

This will be our first visit to an event of this kind and we are looking for a few tips.

Hotels - Do any of the local ones have a spa so we can relax in the evening

Getting there - Easyjet seems to offer the best prices on flights, any other deals around ?

Restaurants - Is anyone putting together a list of really good restaurants in the area. With a good wine cellar as a preference.

Parking - where's the best place too leave the hire car during the day ?

Shopping - The ladies will probably get bored after the first day so how far are we from a good shopping centre ?

Evening entertainment - We're looking for somewhere smart with the right crowd and no riff raff, any suggestions ?

Any other ideas welcome - see you there.

Flights will be very busy, I suggest an easy two day drive with a stop over somewhere near Newcastle. Some lovely country pubs on the way. Thats what we're doing

It's where all the leaders of the movement are staying, and the spa is superb.

Naturally, I recommend the Deluxe Double, you'll find you don't want to slum it after a hard days protesting.

As for flights, BA should be able to sort you out for about £350, but do book quickly. It's ever so busy.

Look me up when you get in, I'm in the Scone & Crombie Suite.

See you at the barricades.
