I'm looking to get back to Cardiff for the APAT this weekend (title defence and all that), but find myself stuck in Northern Norway. There is a severe lack of flights from here and my last option of using the Learjet just evaporated. Using civil air is out of the question as it'll cost me a grand or so just to get to the UK.

Now, I know there is a flight on the day of the tourney which gets into Swindon area at 1800 hrs. (Assuming there are no delays) I reckon I can get to Cardiff for about 20:30 hrs.

Starting stack is 10k at 1430 hrs. So 8 levels:

1 25 / 50 14:30 40:00 15:10   
2 50 / 100 15:10 40:00 15:50   
3 75 / 150 15:50 40:00 16:30   
4 100 / 200 16:30 40:00 17:10 00:10  Break
5 150 / 300 17:20 40:00 18:00   
6 200 / 400 18:00 40:00 18:40   
7 300 / 600 18:40 40:00 19:20 01:00  Dinner
8 400 / 800 20:20 40:00 21:00   

How close to the felt (if I am still alive) do you think I'll be upon arrival?Huh?

Ask Des if you can transfer to next National event, and give an alternate a go, because you wont have anything left...

He'll just get his money back won't he? That's the norm.

There is no fee as Lee has been given free entry to this event as the defending champion. 

Let us know how you want to play it Lee.  I feel bad for you as your incredible effort looks unlikely to see you in the tournament.

He's on his way over isn't he Des?  Or has he contacted you this afternoon?

You've underestimated him Des.  He's currently on the M4 on the way to Cardiff.
