We'll be land at 2.00pm and should be in the town centre by 3.00pm

stormkeeper

I'm looking at taking a train up, so I'd be there an hour or two earlier, depending on the train I'd get... so when you guys are heading to the airport, I'd be about 1/3 of the way there!

The trip is 6.5 hours for me, so on Monday, I'd have to be at the station for about 17:00 (train leaves at 17:30)

Edit: Plane is cheaper by about 20 quid. New arrival time, once I book the flight is 13:45, and with this I can fly back around the same time as you lot, thouh the latest is 21:10.

Edit: Of course, I'd be going to Stansted to fly out, and flying back in from Gatwick! It's still cheaper than the train overall, even if it is just a tenner's difference.

stormkeeper

And of course once you leave that's the end of all the fun

Booked mine just there too, I'm on the same flight as you out of dublin, but my flight back leaves at 16:55, the morning one had gone up to €220.

6th

ofcourse the fun ends with me! Anyway I'm sure you guys can christmas shop on the monday

stormkeeper

Sounds like a plan actually... I want to do the normal touristy bit with Scotland, so may as well make a day of it.... god knows when I'll be back next!

stormkeeper

One week to go

6th

Yeah one week to go and I dont know who's going. I booked a 6 bed room in a hostel and I have no idea if we'll fill it. I tried to change it to a 4bed but all the 4beds are full.

So who is going?

stormkeeper

Well me for and yourself for sure! Stephen too by the looks of it.

Anyone else?

Stoner

me

6th

Ah right, I though you had to change plans Stoner?

So you're still going on saturday morning and back on Sunday, what time you arriving at Saturday?

6th

I think its just Grimes & monkeyfudge I'm not sure of now? Unless someone else wants to come along?

monkeyfudge

My passsssssport application form arrived in the post this morning so there may be hope for me yet.


I added the extra s's to passssssssport as I think it looks cool... I might add extra s's to the form as well to improve it.

I'm sorry... the passport aplication form is just too difficult for me.

It actually asks when and where did I lose my passport... if I knew that it wouldn't be f*cking lost... would it?!?!?!

6th

Ah pity, you need a break after the Spain incident.

Stoner

Sorry 6th but my wife booked the flight out, i know the flight back is at 13:25 on the sunday, I'll know in the morning

6th

ok well I'm all packed (early i know), apart from buying some battteries and tapes.

Remember:

Passports
Flight tickets/details

stormkeeper

At least I'll find it easier to track my finances for this trip, yay.

stormkeeper

I've got an early start Saturday morning, have to be up at 05:30! I'm sure this trip'll be worth it. Either way, I'm having *gasp* an early(ish) night on Friday!

lol, well I'll be arriving in Edinburgh Airport 15 minutes before you anyway...

stormkeeper

Only an hour to go now before I leave... thought I'd take the time to say goodbye, see you later and tell you to expect pictures

kshiel

Have a great trip people, take loads of pic, and STAY SAFE.

6th

Hey Stoner, see that large spike over there?? .....

ladybirdirl

Hey guys,

Don't mind kshiel - staying safe is boring, we need at least one of you to do something ood or something that needs lots of explaining and is open to interpretation or something like that.

Surely one of you can streak across the city or something (just a suggestion, go with whatever the drink tells you)

Ladybird

odonnell

knowing edinburgh, i wouldnt go streaking across the city if i were you - one or all three of the following might happen and not necessarily in this order

a) you may be mistaken for a rent boy and snatched off the street by sex starved perverts.
b) the police will get you, take you to the cells and give you a beating, mistaking you for a sex starved pervert..
c) youll freeze to death after youve been kicked out of the cells or said sex starved perverts home....

Enjoy edinburgh guys..make sure the police, the rats, the junkies, the sex starved perverts, the ghosts, the edinbuggers and the bed bugs dont bite.

ladybirdirl

Hey Odonnell,

Are you in fact working for the Edinburgh tourist authority!!:p

Ladybird

6th

Ok then photo time it is!

I have lots to say about this trip but not much time to do it, so I'll post some pics and chat later.

The Castle - nice:


The Hostel - not bad, this mystery poster seems to be comfy anyway:


Camera Obsucra - good tourist spot, nice light tunnel:


Camera Obscura again - Kennett using his powahs!:


Camera Obscura again - Plasma ball thingy, long exposure:


Getting a good view of the city:


Now some intyeresting ones - the first two are same shot of use at the Mercat Cross waiting on a tour. The first was as it was took, the 2nd I just lightened to see us a bit better, notice anything?:



These two were taken one after the other in the Vaults. Second one I was a bit closer in but dont know what the shadow is on the wall as there was no one bewtween me and the wall. Also no stronge light source behind me for me to cast that shadow:

monkeyfudge

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to notice in that brightened up photo of the 4 of you... It looks a little bit like Stoner wet himself though.

6th

Well spotted, but thts not it. It might be nothing so I wont point it out. If anyone sees anything just say it.

littlebug

ya that piller of mist to the right of the car lights. Could be interpreted as personlike.

Any explanations?

6th

Thats what I saw too, given the history of the site it wouldnt surprise anyone "if" it was a figure.

That said it was a wet night but it was not a mark on the lense.

Funny to note that their are no orbs (of any origin) in most of teh pics even though it was a wet night.

littlebug

strange. It's got a strange spiral type effect and looks like a very specific type of person to me. I won't say what... I'll wait and see if anyone else sees the same thing!

monkeyfudge

I'm seeing the fat controller out of Thomas the Tank Engine.
