Post by: Aficionado on February 04, 2016, 23:49.: Yep, been there and enjoyed that once or twice although I also prefer the approach from the sea. Bit of a stretch though describing it as the last 100 miles, probably closer to 40 ☺

Could even be sub forty miles. Perhaps we should run a competition by identifying the terrain in Google earth and calculating the distance. ;)

Post by: Keith and Jen on February 05, 2016, 13:34.: I am amazed at why people insist in standing right next to the luggage carousel in arrivals. Presumably to see their luggage as soon as possible. If only everyone stood a metre or so away from the conveyor belt they and others would be able to see much better and then just need to take a step forward at the appropriate moment. There would also be room to manoeuvre the items without colliding with other passengers.

There's nowt so queer as folk.
