Or £101 return (walk up on the day and pay) to Sunderland then a Metro ticket from there. There and back in a day - easily - and save a day off work. Little things we - up northerners - have been doing for years to attend all the down sarf conferences :) £15 each way from London if you book at the right time.

It's great not having to travel a full day to get to London or Brighton, and a full day back again, Newcast is ~3 hours from London and the same from Scotland on the train, definately same day doo-able for most :) Its fantastic to see a conference full of good speakers happening up north :)

We have actually checked how long it would take us to walk up there ... a bit more than 3 days (if you manage not to sleep in-between of course and without wages!!!! :-) ). But see for yourself: http://bit.ly/us-walking-to-newcastle Well there is an alternative route on which we would have to take the ship via the Netherlands ... if I think about that ... it could be fun too. Yes! We are really desperate to get there, as there are going to be so many awesome people who definitely will teach and inspire everyone attending (including us, hopefully). So what do you think? Should we walk? As you might have read “Pewee’s” comment it is really expensive to get up to Newcastle (we do work for the same agency).

Hotels etc - there should also be some reasonable details going - transport around Newcastle/Gateshead is dead easy so you can stay anywhere on the Metro line and still get in and out easily enough. @pewee

I always have tons of ideas and inspirations but that's where they stay--in my head. After hearing about this, I got excited, but to learn it was in the UK I got slightly frustrated but then it made all the more sense as to why I felt the urge to get my passport (for the first time) last month. I am tired of playing it safe, with my ideas, with my time and most importantly with ME. I believe this will jumpstart every thing that I have in me to put this plan in action if I get the tickets, because at that point, it's all or nothing. I wanna be UK bound! :-) I have always played everything safe, from where I went to undergrad (20 minutes away from my house) to how I moved BACK to live at home (that’s going to change this year).

Train: £400+ Car rental: £150+ (not including gas) Youth Hostel: (not yet researched) Bus: £40 but it will take 6+ hours so we need to take another day off work Taking off work: (stingy boss will deduct 2 days pay) Frankly, the ticket is the cheapest part of the venture so if I could atleast win that money back it would make it all worth while.
