Thorpe Park here we come, but first how!

A couple of weeks ago myself and my friends from University decided that we would organise a trip to Thorpe Park for all of us as it’s rarely we all get the chance to go out together all at the same time and have some fun, originally it was just 5 of us and then it went up to a total of 8 (possible 9), but now unfortunately two of my friends can’t come, though they have valid reasons (it’s just a shame they can’t come), so now there’s a total of 6 of us going.

And now those of us that are left are finding it kind of hard to find an easy/cheap way of getting to Thorpe Park as I can drive but we can only fit in a maximum of 5 in my car and that’s a little bit squashed. So we started looking at how much it would cost us to hire a SUV/MPV/Minibus for the day, but though we have found some good prices if we can possible get some more people to share the price with us, there’s the problem of returning the car.

We would not make it back in time to return the car that day so we would have to bring it back the next day, but the problem there is that the next morning I wouldn’t be able to do that because the next morning I am going to the Microsoft Research Lab in Cambridge as part of a Microsoft Student Partners Event.

I’ve had a word with one of my friends and he is going to ask his brother and his brother’s girlfriend if either of them would mind driving too so we could go back to our original plan of taking two cars. Hopefully one of them will say yes (wishes/prays) because the 19th of June the date we are going to Thorpe Park is fast approaching!
