well if you get a puncture don't go to greenwoods that are on the road going into pontefract from where your staying. They will rip you off properly.

Cant believe you mentioned big fellas and not silks, many a fine woman to be found up there! To be honest mate dont go to any of the clubs looking for anything spectacular. Kikos is staright out of the question if your 15 or older. Big Fellas is okay if you drop on the right night which seems to change every week so cant really advise.The place itself is a shit hole. Floors as sticky as hell and always broken glass everywhere. Good fights used to be frequent but havent seen one for a while. Bogs are always piss wet through which is always nice. As above though pubs are spot on, good atmosphere in most of them. Most Ponte and Cas people are friendly enough, those that arent are easy to spot. Whichever train station you get off at your only 5mins walk to bus station/taxi rank that will get you down to your hotel. I live about 2mins from baghill train station at moment so any directions or owt mate give us a nod.

oooh yea get yourself to the cruise down by pontey racecourse
sorry i expected you coming and staying with someone else.

StephenC - saw your name and thought you were a farmers lad i kind of know. And i thought i've never seen a car like yours round here.

Topbombingkid - aye i know where south hiendley is.

I live in Old Sharlston, not over bad place like. If you know white horse pub i live at the farm just up the road from that.
