are you kidding me!!

But that wouldn't be 2 advanced singles, it would be an advanced return! I never thought to try that!

It is, the ticket site lets you buy either a return ticket at a fixed price, or 2 singles if it works out cheaper (and usually it works out cheaper (and in this instance, better too :beer:

I have done 7 days but would like to see the points on my account before I book any more, although I suppose the email confirmation is handy is a problem arises

Same DM, I've done 5 and will wait to see if these arrive on my account I think.

I've done 5 too. The points should be in our account by Monday/Tuesday based on past performance.

The email said the black offer sale was on until 29/11 so there would be time to do more next week (on the other hand there is time for them to fix it)

BUT

my fear is the more you do the more you increase the chance they see the anomaly on your account and take the points back!

Evening all! The walk was really good and there were three checkpoints, each with half a pint of ale at them. It took us 7.5 hours to walk 20 miles including the beer stops. Same again for tomorrow :-).

I can't face trying to book train tickets just using my phone so if this offer is still on next week I'll have a go. At least I've already got one lot of 2000 and 1000 :-).
