Travel/getting to the event

Hey guys, just a few bits of info about the travel/parking on the day.
Now Arley train station does not have a huge car park, so a wonderfully generous local has given us a discounted rate on parking on his land, he's only charging £2 for the entire day! What a gent!

When using a sat nav to get to us, the postcode is DY12 3NF, and the car park is within spitting distance of the train station. Please don't actually spit on the train station though, it's not very nice and I'll probably yell at you. So, yeah, no to the spitting, but the analogy still holds true.

If you're not using one of those new fandangled what-cha-ma-call-its, and going with good old fashioned directions, you're a better person than me. When getting directions, get them for the train station itself, as there is a bridge in Arley and if you park on the wrong side of it, you get eaten by trolls. Ok, you don't ACTUALLY, but it sounds more dramatic than just saying, you'll have to get back round to the right side of Arley, which is a pain in the bum. See, not quite as exciting is it? The trolls argument is far better.

If you're getting public transport, the best way is to get to Kidderminster train station, and then walk to the Severn Valley station (which is next door so no need for hiking gear) and you can enjoy the utterly gorgeous Severn Valley Railway journey and pull into the station in style. It truly is a stunning journey, the trains themselves are beautiful, and the scenery's amazing. It's honestly on of the best things about the Midlands, and as a born and bred Brummie, you can take my word on it
Check out the website www.svr.co.uk for more information, prices and pictures of the journey. Seriously, it's gorgeous!
Get in touch via here, facebook or twitter if you need any more information about getting to us.
Looking forward to seeing you all on the day!
