How to get to... The Robinson
Grad House
(where Alex stayed summer 1999)
There's two ways to get to the Robinson Grad House, as follows:
-
Boring way: (roads; you get to park your bike closer to my
room)
Head for Robinson, and turn up Adams Road. Keep going and take the
first left onto Sylvester Road (just after a black-and-cream house, which
is 6 Adams!). Immediately turn left again and enter the gravel car-park.
There's a nice ornament constructed of bikes at the far end of the car-park;
go up to it and turn right, and you'll see the Grad
House in front of you on the left. Press buzzer 15, and I'm on the
first floor.
-
Pretty way: (gardens!)
Head for Robinson, park your bike out the front if applicable. Go through
the p'lodge and bear left as you enter Front Court, towards G staircase.
Go through G and down the steps, out into the gardens. Follow the path
round and over the bridge. Take the second right-hand turn, not the one
that's immediately after the bridge; follow it round through the bushes
and go left after going through the pretty arch. When the path opens up
again you'll see two houses; the closer one (on the left) is the Grad
House. Press buzzer 15, and I'm on the first floor.
