    Oh how exciting!!!

    I'd definitely be up for it...!

    Will come on the train and partake of a sherbet or two, since am now in walking distance of train station!!

    Off to look at train prices now.... is it too soon?
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Ooh, I live in Edinburgh, me please me please!!

    I would love to meet some of you in real life :D

    Travelodge are cheap and cheerful and Edinburgh isn't the cheapest place to stay.

    Megabus for the win as well - I'm getting to Inverness in December from here - £2 return :T I think they come here from Englandshire as well :D

    So what's the plan or venue for this? Never been to one of these meets before, but as i work in Edinburgh should probably make the effort. I'll need to watch the times of the last train though - they usually change around then.
