If so, you can easily get to Piccadilly in under 20mins if you do a bit of a dad-run. 10 mins easy I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon a natural athlete like Traf could do a turbo sprint and make it in about 6 minutes...........the 4 hours recovery time might cause a problem though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Traf, it's 1.1 miles. If you can't do that in under 20 minutes then you're even more unfit than you look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieb Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Walk is about 15 minutes max, follow the tram lines to shudehill, then up thomas street, cuts out all the pedestrian traffic and you can join piccadilly approach at the bottom. Tram from shudehill to piccy g's and then walk up station approach, will probably take longer than walking and it means you will have to spend time in the cultural melting pot that is Piccadilly Gardens. Jo Baxi will hope you don't know where you are going, pretend that they don't know where they are going, take all your cash and generally be a set of cunts.

Aye, google it, its straight forward enough, turn right onto newton street then down dale street to ducie street. No pedestrians dawdling away pointing at buildings over 3 storeys and such like. Easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
