There is an idea. The grounds to the stadium is open to the public usually as the shop is inside the grounds but I can ask about to see if we can access other areas if people are interested?

Yes, I saw that on their website, I can keep the duck! I got the 30% discount as I booked four nights, I am hoping to do a long weekend! haha. I have not been to Edinburgh for a while and the last time was only for a day trip! This way, I can fit in a bit more, join MrG on the stargazing, also perhaps be able to visit my ex-boss, who lives outside Edinburgh on a mansion with stables!! I am hoping to get an invite to stay if he knows I am coming haha. So I hope I can get the cheap train fares now on the days that I want!

Just booked our accommodation. It's glamping in Midlothian so slightly outside Edinburgh, about an hours bus ride away. It has cost us £39 for 2 people for 2 nights. If anyone fancies joining us email Stuart McCabe at www.kirkhillmansion.com
Use my name, Steve O'D, as a reference to get this price as I did a bit of haggling.

How strange. I can't see that bit, just the bit that says Highlands.

Anyway, pointless for anyone else to enter. That prize is MINE :muhaha: ALL MINE... For when we come up in June :kiss:.

That bit is from the T&Cs. It is worth a shot to enter even if there are thousands of other people entering. It could be one of us considering how lucky some people on here are.
