As suggested by Liam in the other thread.

 

Here is how this is going to work.

 

I'm going to put two proformas below, one is "driver" the other is "lift request", please copy and paste them into your post and fill them in. You need not do anything else. I will use the information to try and co-ordinate workable partnerships, it is then up to the people being paired whether that is acceptable. If there is someone on the forum you absolutely do not want to travel with, please message me privately to say.

 

-Driver Proforma:

 

Username:

Location:

Spare Seats:

Googlemaps Route:

Maximum Leverage*:

Need equipment**:

Same Return Route: Y/N

Willing To "Ferry"***:

 

*By this I mean the maximum you are willing to deviate from your route to pick someone up, either time or distance please.

**If you need anything like camping stoves, tents etc, state it here and I'll pair you up with whoever has the closest

***Would you be willing to ferry people from the NAE site to and from local public transport etc if needs be?

 

Lift Request Proforma:

 

Username:

Location:

Distance Willing To Travel*:

Equipment Held**:

Maximum Donation***:

 

 

 

*How far are you willing or able to get yourself to meet up with someone?

**What camping/spare gear do you have that may be useful to other people?

***How much are you willing to give toward petrol and inconvenience to the person driving you?

 

For those who are probably looking at this like "but whyyyy", here's my entry, as the first person posting:

==================================================

-Lift Request Proforma:

 

Username: Finius

Location: Coventry, Grimsby, Lincoln or Birmingham by default

Distance Willing To Travel*: As far as I can get for £50 on the train

Equipment Held**: 3 man tent, camping stove

Maximum Donation***: £50, ideally less

==================================================

 

Cheers folk! Please fill them out as I have requested so that I can sort out lifts in a way that gets the most people transport, if you want to sort your own liftshares out etc, please feel free to make another thread, but this makes the most sense to me.

If possible, could I get space for 2 or 3 people? As many as anyone can spare if they have a peoplecarrier or something. I've got about 6 mates planning on coming down as well and as far as I know, none of them have thought about lifts yet either.

 

Username: Airsoft-Ed

Location: Sheffield (West)

Distance Willing To Travel: 20 miles, give or take.

Equipment Held: Nothing, unfortunately.

Maximum Donation: £20

 

Can I point out that although getting there is an issue, so is getting back. Are we assuming this will work for both, or just getting there?
