Hey folks, I'm here to ask for, and offer, a little help with touring.
My living situation is due to change pretty drastically on Monday... I will no longer have a permanent incall and am planning on making a living by touring exclusively and I'm looking for one or maybe two people who might be interested in touring with me. Someone(s) who can commit to coming on one or two tours a month would be ideal.
I've found the most success with Tuesday to Friday tours, so three nights, checking in whatever time on Tuesday and checking out Friday morning. I'll be planning stuff mostly in the south west as I'll be living a little outside of Stroud, with some trips to south Wales, the Midlands and occasional forays to Scotland, which will generally be a "double tour" to do a couple of cities as it's such a trek for me.
I always stay in apartments (I need to cook/ can't really eat out) and I like to plan ahead to try and get a better rate so normally I'll be booking stuff about three months in advance. I tend to spend £120-£220 each for three night stays, and I can take your budget into account too. I'm happy to do all the admin on this (finding and booking places,) so might suit a person who wants to tour but doesn't know where to start? I'm happy to team up with people who have "tried and tested" spots, too. Obviously you will sort your own travel.
I tend to knock off work around 9pm/ 11pm and would rather share with someone who doesn't want to work through the night.
I have a few tours already booked I'd like a tour buddy for; Birmingham 18-21 Dec for £165 each, Bristol 14-17 Jan £190 each and Manchester 25-28 Feb £165 each, and maybe either Cardiff or Birmingham on 28-31 Jan.
I'll also be starting to plan my March tours over December, so if you'd like to get involved in the planning, get in touch soon. Please PM me.
