Hello Lynn, Nice to meet you, I am also on this trip, And I am getting picked up from Newcastle, just a few minutes before Mid night. I am also leaving my home about 5pm on the 16th, You will be fine my dear, The trip will be worth the early start, At least I can always sleep on the coach, See you thursday.. Oh by the way, This will be my 7th attempt at doing this.
You will be fine,
Regards Andy
