Ive just been having a look too but its an awful long way for me to come. Although I love Edinburgh and a night in a nice hotel :think:

Could you maybe get a cheap flight up?

Scumair do Bournemouth to Edinburgh - cheap but not exactly cheerful!

Sorry guys - I havent heard about mine yet...but then I'm not in the ballot places. How you're not too disappointed??

Too be honest I am not too disappointed. I have done it three times in the last four years and I would really like to broaden my experience by doing other Marathons. A weekend in Edinburgh in May will be brill.

Just had a look but no flights available. Not sure if this is because they are all sold out or just not available yet. There are non for the upteen weeks before or after too

There are for Feb though - I suspect May falls into their 'summer' schedule so wont be released yet...do they do alerts when flights are released??

The Feb ones came in at about £25 each way including taxes...actual flights were 0.49!

It would still be expensive though all in. I'm thinking of doing Bath Half if I dont get in is that a possible for you? I know its not a full one but hey!

Becky am thinking I will do the Bath Half anyway and probably the Bristol again as I am determined to smash my last time To be honest I think that the Edinburgh Marathon is going to be a bit tricky and too expensive to realistically do. Maybe 2010 when I am debt free

Snaggles you worked out your route home yet?? You do realise if you buy some new kit we will want to see pictures of it modelled by yourself later

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: NO!!

My route home is really easy actually - run a mile along straight road, run a mile uphill up another straight road.

But actually, I might just go and do my normal run instead.....not sure yet.

if you guys do edinburgh i will come and cheer you on!!

Sally, if you want to come up i can put you up for the night no probs... i'm about and hour n a half from Edinburgh but as i'd be coming to cheer you on anyways, it would be no hassle.... bring B too...!!! Me n Erin will amuse her while you run....

I've even sorted out the sleeping arrangements in my head!

check flights into Aberdeen, maybe cheaper?
