The Journey

[The Orange One]

to Hammersmith (H&C). Rhys at this point runs for the other Hammersmith (D&P), while you head across Barnes Bridge.

[Rhys1995]

You then walk to Lonsdale Road bus stop and catch the 72 to Roehampton.

[The Orange One]

Hop on the 265 a couple of stops down to ASDA, where you get a hot pasty for your lunch and a calendar. After enjoying the pasty, you notice that it is a Friday.

[RobbieM]

Traditionally you enjoy fish on Friday, so decide to buy some for dessert. So the next journey sees you running back into ASDA, and riding a trolley down aisle eight...

[The Orange One]

You get some half price fish fingers and a tin of custard. Straightening your bow tie, you leave the shop and board mobility bus 969.

[RobbieM]

As far as St Margaret's Station, whence...

[The Orange One]

You wave the bus off (there won't be another for 4 days) and take SWT to Kew Bridge.

[RobbieM]

And a quick stroll to Gunnersbury...

[The Orange One]

Gunnersbury, Gunnersbury, Gunnersbury, Gunnersbury, Gunnersbury, Gunnersbury, Gunnersbury, Gunnersbury, GUNNERSBURY...

You take a Piccadilly Rail Replacement bus to Heathrow Terminals 123, 4 and 5.

(Referennce to A-Z of the Underground)

[RobbieM]

Being slightly confused at which terminal you actually end up at, you walk up and down a few times until you've worked out it's Terminal...

[The Orange One]

2, because it's closed. You get on board a motorised trolley and ride into Terminal 3.

[RobbieM]

And board a Virgin Atlantic flight to Accra.

[The Orange One]

Except you don't, because Virgin Atlantic don't fly to Accra. You take the Heathrow Express to Terminal 5 to find a BA flight to Accra, which you board.

[RobbieM]

You realise that the website you checked is out of date, and the Virgin Atlantic stopped its flights to Accra last September. But you're quite happy with the BA replacement. A gentle taxi to the east end of the runway, then...

[The Orange One]

you take off (what a surprise). Soaring through the air in a first class seat (why not?), you eat some unidentifiable stuff (with a custom ice cream sundae), and then settle down to watch Unstoppable.

The Boeing 777 appears to be unstoppable as well, until it lands in Accra and stops, at which point you disembark and look around for a trotro.
