400 mile round trip – because we can!
Wednesday 7th January 2009
At 06:30 I left the boat and set off to pick my colleague Peter Gale up from his hotel near Slough station. We had planned to spend a couple of hours in the office at Slough before catching a train to London for the meeting. No sooner had I picked Peter up (at 07:00), his phone rang. The call was from two of the other attendees for the meeting who were calling to cancel the meeting as the overhead power lines had prevented their trains from travelling from the North of England to London.
Ah well, might just as well drive home.
