Hiya

Well im flying to Manchester in the morning, heading to Preston for a 3 day induction for new job.

I have never been before so not a clue where im going?

I'm sure i'll manage finding my way about, but was just wondering,

I've been put up at The Holiday Inn The Ringway, and place i have to go to is Tulketh Mills, Barclarres Road, Ashton.

How long would it take to get from Holiday Inn to the place i have to go?

Just want to know so i can order cab in good time to get there for 9am

? in advance for ANY info.?

    It is probably a 10 minute drive in normal traffic but I would order a cab for 8:30ish, just in case of traffic/roadworks etc.

    Good luck with your induction! ?

    i will have evenings to myself to chill out and relax. ?A.k.a Peace and quiet from kids for few days?

    That's where I am temping at the moment!?

    You are actually so close the bus station that it may be worth getting the Number 31 bus as it stops right outside Tulketh Mill and costs a mere pound.?

    Good luck luck with your induction!

    WKS. you are right next to the bus station so could easily hop on the bus. Or i would call the taxi for 8.30 ish as traffic on the ringway can be a bit heavy at that time.

    its weird knowing there are hitchers in or near preston. so many north west hitchers seem to be from east lancashire!

    I'm off until Thursday, but if you see a grumpy looking pregnant woman with blonde (ish) hair running for the loo about 5 times an hour thats me!?

    DWC - I recently found that I live literally across the road from one Hitcher, she knew another one who lived on the same street and I know of at least one other in Preston, plus a few others in neighbouring towns. There are actually quite a few of us in such a small area!

    lol nothing there just seems to be a distinct lack of preston area hitchers whenever anyone asks!

    its nice to know there are some out there! i've not met anyone but i suspect a cousin might be a secret hitcher...
