Ser Sean Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Pod, Edinburgh would seem to be the best place to head if arriving on the sat. I have now booked my train ticket to Glasgow on the friday, but am up for whatever is decided on the fri night (be it edinburgh or Glasgow). Whats the state of play for sat night? Oops, where are my manners?!!!! Daj and GoN, may I stay at your place if we stick to Glasgow on friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajamieson Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Aye, of course Sean Hm.....looks like I might need to catch an earlier train up from Durham on Friday;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zollo Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I just checked....and I'll arrive in Edinburgh at 11:30. AM! Anyone getting there that early? I think I might need, as a warm up, a pint of six to drown the travel weariness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needle Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Gdaamit! Daj and Gon have confuddled the whole thing with thier glasgow meddling! Where has Zak gone anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaldanya Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 how about me and you, Fee, stay in Ediburgh, get horrendously drunk and fuck until we die? N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BranTheBuilder Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I'll probably wander down sometime on the Saturday... its a short trip from here so I can easily organise my arrival to be convenient for those who may not know Edinburgh that well (I'm no expert, but I know enough to find mosy places) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needle Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 now THAT sounds like a plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenalpia Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Not far for me either so I'm waiting to find out the plan for Saturday - I expect that I can get away with leaving husband and kids at around lunchtime so could do with an early afternoon RV / person to contact...will anyone be sober enough to be coherent at that time on Saturday This could be alot of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoN Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 gah! sorry! Me and sean and mo and daj will go wherever you tell us to. Just command us! Zoolo, you are getting at noon on friday? I could come through and have a drink with you, or vice versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BranTheBuilder Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 will anyone be sober enough to be coherent at that time on Saturday I'll try to be, prettymuch always up for a drink. There is quite a good little pub at the bottom of Cockburn St that could be suitable as a congregation point for those travelliny by train.

Mo Sneachd Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 By now I am somewhat confused what will actually happen where, so I'll just make sure that I arrive in Glasgow Friday evening (can't be bothered with correct grammatical order now, sorry), sober enough to be up to whatever may happen then Looking forward to it in any case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Sean Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 how about me and you, Fee, stay in Ediburgh, get horrendously drunk and fuck until we die? N Right, thats it!!!! I'm going to Edinburgh. GoN, you can add Barry to our merry little band in Glasgow. We are on the same train up (at opposite ends, obviously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I'll probably get a train that gets me in between 1 and 2pm - there are a few pubs up around Cockburn Street - I think . I know the Hebridean which is on the little street that you come onto as you come out of the station (north side). It's quite small but sells lots of malt whiskeys and its the only one I can remember the name of - can't believe that it's only five years since I lived in the big smoke!! Any better suggestions welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BranTheBuilder Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 The one I was thinking of is (if I remember rightly) "The Malt and Shovel" a nice old style pub with a good range of ales. I think I know the Hebredean, and if I recall correctly its great (and may have been featured in "the Stone Canal") Edinburgh is a city of great pubs... and some dire ones too!

Well looks like we've got a couple of possibilities for starters. At least two of us would know where we're going There's still a few weeks to go so no doubt the plan will change a few thousand times before the day - I'm happy to go along with the majority flow - just keep posting the plans...

needle Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Actually, the hostel I was thinking of making Base camp is next door to the Hebridean (it has a bar downstairs). unfortunately I can't remember the name of it or the street. There is one on Cockburn Street though, so yeah, near the station, easy to get to (two minutes from station and airport drop off), lots of pubs in vicinity, 14 quid a night. I'll keep looking for that other one though. Edinburgh backpackers reviews off.. They do double rooms from around 21-25 pp. I asked for availibility for 10, and it seemed ok.
