Where are you on the transport network?

Jodrell Bank been there many times well worth a visit. There are some smaller dishes as well as the big one plus a visitors centre. There is a to scale walking trail of the Solar System. The Sun and the inner four planets are in the car park but the outer ones get further and further away. The kids wanted to find them all but by the time we got out as far as Neptune they were definitely flagging. Pluto (which was still officially a planet then) is still undiscovered out in the Cheshire countryside.

There was something similar buried in DotCommunist garden

Can vouch for this, went there earlier this year. There are scientists there who are watching out into space 24/7
It's one of the big three giant telescopes. The disappointment was not being allowed to climb into the dish

Also where Blue Dot festival is held.

Down the non-pleb end, through the golden curtain is a private check in, with a private security Chanel which deposits you at a free champagne bar. You should’ve gone down that end.

I walked the length of departures and arrivals and the only bar to be seen was closed down.
I did not get to go airside. The cost of parking
For just under 2 hours it was £14.50

Jodrell Bank

That well-known bit of rhyming slang...

Garden shed has blown on to the line. Been here an hour now. Should have been walking into the Maltings bar in Newton Abbot right now.

 

[pseudonarcissus]

The new terminal building at Santiago de Chile....nice swoopy roof and all but it's shit. Can you see somewhere to charge your phone? They seem to have forgotten that.

I ended up being early for the flight...the old terminal had a lovely wine bar you could enjoy a few glasses of the local vino, eat some charcuterie and relax...now...Starbucks and McDonalds...I am very disappointed...and hungry.

Jodrell Bank and literary woo: lecture by Alan Garner who lives in a medieval house a Mike from the telescopes.

His home's Bronze Age legacy and nearby Jodrell Bank inspire author Alan Garner to write.

Train is so dangerously overcrowded it won’t move until people get off, but nobody wants to. Driver is saying it’s so heavy he can’t start it. FFS. State of this country.
