Tuesday on train there and back same day. ( never done Tuesday so am looking forward to this element )
Weds train up to brum in afternoon dinner with Mrs and her family weds eve, Cheltenham on the Thursday for the day then back to brum for eve and then train into London early enough to head to the local for gold cup day.
It’s the greed now my cousin and his mates used to rent a house about 3 miles from Cheltenham and would take it for the full week would work out about £100 a night each but they had rented it for 20+ years, this year the owner agreed and then last week cancelled as can get a few more quid.
lot of speculation that this years numbers will be down but then saw on Insta yesterday that gaucho have opened a pop up restaurant there for the week, it’s turning more and more into nothing remotely to do with horse racing.
They charge ridiculous prices for accommodation they really ramp them up just like holiday prices when schools are off. See palace haters early post.
Yes, but assuming it's just him he's a £30 return train ride away as well. No need to pay that if you choose not to. I suspect he's not trying to do it on a budget. If he's a blogger, he'll claim most of that as expenses too.

Its clearly expensive but if they made good on their bets maybe not so terrible?
See palace haters early post.

"Tomorrow I'm going to smash money down on @CelticFC to batter Rangers at home. Nothing will STOP the boys' winning, even my shocking form!"
Could get a week in benidorm with all your food and drink in for that!...and it looks as though many did.
