I'm glad I'm not the only one not fully ready! Only just stumbled on this thread now as I was on holiday last week without internet, its a good thing I have so much time to kill that I can get to page 7 of the threads before I get bored.

I haven't worked out what I'm doing yet, but I'm sure it'll work out fine whenever. If I fly I might book a flight that others are on to make things more sociable and fun than travelling alone. Anyone flying from Gatwick?

Also, how many unicycles can you fit in a suitcase? And is anyone thinking of going to EJC after/straight from unicon?

If flying from Gatwick one option is http://www.sterling.dk/flight

How many uni's in a suitcase - depends on wheel size

Note Sterling's bike charge, which you may wish to try and avoid.

Confirmed now that I will be flying, and thanks for that link £9 for the return flight! the price could make it worth flying alone and not getting a flight with other riders on... but then again... not flown on my own before! hmm...

I've booked! Going from Gatwick on 25th and back on 5th with Sterling. Looking forward to it!! I guess the next stage is to let the unicon lot know which flight I'm coming in on so they can stick me in a group to be escorted to the venue, anyone else sorted this yet?

Sarah - are you Sarah.Miller signed on with a different name? There's only one Sarah registered from the UK, so I'm guessing it must be you! Not that I have stalking tendencies... just curious!

It takes about 25 minutes whit the metro to a station that is under 1 km from UNICON. from there you can walk/ride ore take a train in 2 minutes and walk 200 meters! metro goes every 4 minute train leaves every 5-10 minutes.! really easy..

See you there..

Cheers.

If you email Connie the details once you've booked your flight they arrange to have someone guide groups of people arriving from the airport to the venue, so you shouldnt have to worry about that.

Have a look at Ryan air, and Sterling flights, they don't seem to be too expensive, you just have to see if they fly from an airport near you, then just get on a book it!!

this is the page on airport esorts. apparently they work in groups of five, so we need 2 others if we want to use that service Rob and Brendan.

Hi, this isn't exactly relevant but I didn't want to start a new thread.

Any tips on travel insurance for unicon? I'm not going as a competitor but will still be riding lots, trouble is, I'm guessing unicycling is classed as 'unusual or hazardous' which many places state that they don't cover ...

Anyone know anywhere good to get it and if any extras are needed?

Cheers, see you soon!
