Hi.

I am in Yorkshire, flying from Manchester to Heathrow and vice versa, the trains down were fine but the ones back were none existant at the time they were required.I have loads of time at Heathrow, well according to the provisional flight timings I have.

Hi

Thats why I opted for the flights from Mancheser, I can drive there so not tied to trains , or lack of them.

Lake District is lovely,although I prefer the Dales, its nearer and 'softer' scenery.
