How will you travel to FACTS 2008?

[cartoonjessie]

Okay folks, I suppose this is in the right section...

I noticed some people on these boards were from the Netherlands or from Limburg and whatever and I was wondering how everyone would travel to FACTS this year?

The thing is that I'm already taking 4 people by car so far and another 2 have asked me if I could take them. Well, obviously, I can't cause I don't own a minibus or something. -__-

So I was kind of thinking about maaaaaybe taking the train with the lot of them, from somewhere in Limburg, probably Bilzen or Hasselt or Genk. (One of the three)

From where are all of you coming and how are you coming? Car? Train? Bicycle?

Maybe people could set up carpoolings here? (Though not in my car, lol, it's full already.)

Well, if I'm going by car, I'll be leaving Limburg on saturday morning to arrive well before 10 and I'll leave Gent the sunday evening, once FACTS is over.

Usually I go by train, but this year I'm planning to go by car, because we don't want too much trouble... (my brother is coming as assassin) Plus, if we take the car, we can go to the facts party :3 (the last train leaves at 9 pm >.> )

I do know that there'll be cosplayers taking the train from Hasselt :3 I'm betting at least 5 people...

I have to fly on a plane to Belgium XD

[cartoonjessie]

How about the Eurostar? With the ticket from the Eurostar, you can take the train in Belgium for free too and then you'll get to Ghent too. (When you buy Eurostar tickets, your Eurostar ticket will allow you to travel for free the day of your ticket to or from the Brussels train station). Just a suggestion.

Do you live close to London?

[Kitsune Misao]

I'm far away. Right in the north. My tickets have already been paid for XD

[cartoonjessie]

Not near Durham by any chance? What airport are you flying in from?

[Kitsune Misao]

Oh, Manchester Airport XD

[cartoonjessie]

That's still kind of okay, haha. I once travelled, by train, from Hasselt (which is the eastern flemish province of Belgium) to Brussels, to London Waterloo, with the underground to King's Cross, then to ehm ehm... what town was it? Well, can't recall, but it was below Durham and then I took a cab to Durham's Airport. Only took me like... I dunno. 8 hours. XD Haha. Nah, could have been more though. It went by fairly quick to me.

[Kitsune Misao]

Hehe, itll be fine, only a few hours for me XD I so can't wait!! ITs gonna rock <3

[grievous444]

Like each year I am coming with the train from Wervik - Kortrijk - Gent Sint-Pieters. And there will be 2 friends coming along. (maybe more)

[cartoonjessie]

Will you and your friends be dressed up on the train? ^^

[Kitsune Misao]

I'd like to cosplay on the plane but I dunno. I don't think its appropriate XD

[boomvavavoom]

I am both from Limburg as well as the Netherlands

ANyway, last years I left saterdaymorning around 4 by car.
Last year I set out Firday night by car and stayed with a friend.


This year I go with my wife most likely...it will be her first time actually seeing me work

No, I am not a cosplayer and my friends are also no cosplayers. Butt I am looking forward to see the other cosplayers at Facts.
Reminds me of buying a new camera.

Last year I went by car, cause I had a passenger with me. We carpooled. But previous years I took the train, meeting up with people as I passed Antwerp.

Not sure about this year... if I need to bring people along, then maybe we'll carpool and otherwise I'll take the train again.

[fab1]

By train (via Cologne), then taking the tram to set up camp at the B&B, take a short breath and then back (by tram again) to the ICC and help setting up the exhibition of the Modelbouwclub Willebroek.

[nakeli]

[idromy]

i travel by foot or by tram either way, the good thing about living near facts, is well

[crazycookie]

this year will be my first time going to facts (that is if i can get some time of in the psychiatric clinic) i'm planning on going by car and since i'm going by myself, i would be happy to take a few peoples with me. the plan is leave limburg somewhere saterday morning and get back somewhere sunday evening (remember plans sometimes change (lets hope it doesn't))

Awesome site. I will definitely come by the stand of Modelbouwclub Willebroek.

[Kolonel Oneill]

First I go with the bus from my home to the trainstation in Brugge and then it's off to Gent-Sint-Pieters

[hadesgod1]

How wil i travel to FACTS
I'm the great saiyaman, i'll fly of course

No i'll be driving with my car, since i'm on duty on FACTS, i wil not be wearing my cosplay all the time, only during my free-moments (IF the bosses let me )
and during the cosplay contest.

Last year i missed my entrance at the category anime, Vegeta was stil working

Sleeping won't be an option, i wouldn't be able due to the excitment of FACTS and I wil be the VERY first at the entrance door
My bag would already've been made begin oktober (except for my lunch that is ;D )

I live at Wetteren, therefor i could take some people with my in my car but the thing is : it wil be very early . .

[grim]

we'll come with the train of 7:42 from kortrijk

[Sja]

Last year I went by train, and I went home to sleep and change on Saturday (only to take the train again on Sunday... XD). This year my brother will be cosplaying too (on Saturday) so our parents have agreed to drive us there. He'll be going home with them on Saturday while I'm staying at a friends place and then taking the train home Sunday evening. ^__^

[superjason]

My wife nakeli and i live in Oostende. We come with the train every year.

oh this will be our fifth year coming!
