A tentative visit to England is shaping up for my family sometime in August. We’d be in London for a couple of days and likely around Cheltenham for the rest.
So, who would this be near?
Also, how far is Cheltenham from Mostyn? If it’s workable perhaps I could spend a day at the Mostyn Mayhem.
In any event I’d like to insist on putting one day at least aside for me to spend with some riders.

You’ll be about 2 1/2 hours from Mostyn.
There are lots of riders around London and a few near Cheltenham. You’ll be right next to the Forest of Dean which is a great place for a ride. Very popular with mountain bikers. I sure you’ll get a few riders keen for a days playing there.

soar the title of this thread and thought ah ha!
come to Calstock Unicycle club! we love to meet people!
Rapheal,
If you and the girls want some time at the beach while your in the UK, why not pop down to the South West, meet TreeP, Phil, Paul, thinuniking, and me and others to go play with. The beaches are prety nice too. Our local beach at Dawlish Warren just came 6th in a list of Englands cleanest beaches ( its the highest placed Devon beach). We were going to go there today to fly kites but it kept raining, so have had a lazy day at home instead.
Sarah
come and see us that would be cool to have our own mini uni meet
Hmmm, thinuniking, huh. Well as long as Ben promises not to harm me, it sounds quite nice. 
How far is where you are from London or Cheltenham?
The more my wife and I talk about this the more we want to do it.
Cheers,

Exeter, where Paul and Sarah live, is about 2 hours away from Cheltenham according to the AA; I live very slightly nearer. If you decide to come down this way I for one would like the opportunity of meeting you! We’ll promise to stop Ben correcting your grammar all the time… 
Since moving down to the South West from the East Midlands I’ve been quite impressed by the number of unicyclists down here. Now I get to ride with other people many weekends after having to put up with months on end of riding on my own.
Dawlish Warren used to be the nearest beach years ago when I lived in Devon, and I still think it’s one of the best beaches I’ve been to.
Phil
Sounds doable.
Likewise!
Thanks! 
British place names are surely the best as well.

and treepotato lives about an hour or so from Exeter (think thats right) and i’d love to meet up with everyone i get lonely unicycling down here in cornwall…sniff
It looks like I’ll also be staying a day or so with some friends in Walthamstow. That’s somewhere in the London vicinity I’m told.

Well, we’re booked to arrive at Heathrow at 9:05 on 7-Aug. We’ll be in Cheltenham the 7th through 12th and then in London the 13th and 14th.
The Cheltenham Juggling Club meets on Sunday evenings and I’ll probably head there on the 8th.
Hopefully I’ll be able to spend a day with some unicyclists. Look forward to meeting some of you.
Emma is particularly excited about seeing Big Ben, some costume museum in Bath, and not eating anything marmite related.

Scouting out a country to move to if Bush wins again.
“If”? I would have thought you’d use “when”.
In any event, no, Canada is close enough for those purposes. Just so damn cold.

come to england!
mind you we’ve got tony blair so not really a terific improvement but still you get away from the bush
huh what did i do? 
i harm my self mainly i am only online due to a uni spin injury 
wow i have a reputation coool!
Ben
I think leow lives in Cheltenham, if memory serves me right.
I went to Bath recently for the first time though we didn’t go to the costume museum, the Roman Bath’s are good mind. On the Saturday we were there we saw a street performer with a 8ft DM giraffe (kept telling the ordiance it was 10ft ) made me wish I’d taken my uni.
Oh and I wouldn’t eat Marmite either.
Cheers, Gary
Do come to Mostyn Mayhem, it is a really cool convention. Really relaxed with a lot more unicycling than at a normal juggling convention (might be because I help organise it).
Roger
Well, we’re flying to England tomorrow evening and will be arriving at Heathrow the morning of Saturday, 7-Aug.
Between my own inertia, my wife’s itinerary, and the fact that 8 days is way not enough time, I haven’t really gotten around to contacting anyone to try to meet up. I will have access to Unicyclist.com from my friends place, though if opportunities arise.
I will be going to the Cheltenham Juggling Club (which meets in Shurdington) meeting on Sunday, 8-Aug at 7:00 PM. I’ve been in contact with Leo W and he has said he’ll show up. If there’s anyone else in the area who can make it, that’d be great.
Cheers all,

Have a good time! Haven’t been to England in 16 years…need to get back there myself some time in the near future…
Thanks. We were last there in 1989 and before that '87. This is going to be the first time we see some of the countryside, though. Should be nice. And I’m hoping my 10 year old enjoys it, too.
