I'm sure I expressed my desire to turn up and like you I cannot find the comment either.
I'm still looking for cheap accommodation for the weekend so please don't hesitate to pm me with any offers.
I've booked in the Travelodge Edinburgh Central Waterloo Place Hotel and it's still available for £80 for the 2 nights just for bed not breakfast but it is very central and only a couple of minutes from the station so you won't be p*ying extra for taxis, buses etc. We'll probably end up on the same train heading up to Edinburgh.

I am also now booked there too, to be more central, and to save costs. Four nights was £147, so I thought that was very good. o/

Can I make a suggestion to Diane65 to amend her first post with a list of confirmed attendees please, so it is easier to see who is coming, rather than trawling through the whole thread. Thank you so much! o/
