what hotel are people using if traveling up for the night ?

I'm in the Ibis.

going to check out hotels this weekend

is anyone going on the Friday night or just the Saturday?

hell.... have you got a large roof-rack and strong suspension. The bhp/tonne might drop a little...

Most people stay at the Ibis Hotel.

The County Hotel is literally a few doors away, so also a good choice.

Simon (Edinburgh) is staying at a place called The Corner House iirc.

There are also two Premier Inns, within a couple of miles, so will work out well if you share a taxi with someone.

Rob said there was another hotel behind his restaurant too - a Travelodge I think, but not sure on that.



I don't think anyone has ever stayed on the Friday night, except maybe barmybob, but he had to spend the day before shopping and pleasing his Mrs, didn't you Bob

Not sure if nismo has to do the same with you Mario?

For those that don't know, the Ibis is around the corner from Robs and right in the middle of the pubs and clubs, so no one will have to pay out for taxi's, etc.
The County Hotel is also literally a few doors along, so another good choice.

Don't book breakfast at the Ibis, it's shocking!

We all meet up in the morning and have a decent breakfast across the road from the Ibis (it's a Weatherspoons or Lloyds bar or similar)

Just booked a single room at the County Hotel - £40. The Ibis was £58 for single occupancy.

Just hope I can actually get there.....

Pmsl

hmmm

How did you manage that, it was way more when I tried weeks ago! Stayed there last year, perfectly acceptable and good breakfast Make sure you phone them and ask for a room round the back away from all the clubbing racket that comes from the main street.....unless it's being caused by you of course

Yeeeeee ha cowboy.
Looking forward to you abusing us all at the hand of a few ales

Sorry to see you're not going to be able to make this Jim


Thanks for updating the list for me Karl

Thanks, T. We were looking forward to it, but we're having to stay close to home throughout december. We'll get to a meet yet.

Utterly gutted, but I can't make it either. I'd even booked a ticket to watch Morecombe v Oxford on the Saturday lunchtime (so might not be all bad) - I have just been informed by my ex-missus that I need to have my children that weekend, and to be fair her need is essential; mine would just be fun.

I am still desperate to have a road trip north of the border; if our Scottish cousins have a meet sometime in the New Year I would love to come (probably stopping at JBT's for a £££ pitstop). I haven't been to Skye for 40 years, and would love to come back down the east.....

Have a great evening/weekend,

Tim

Hold on there are similarities

Typical bloody Tottenham fan.
Unreliable.

You look like chewy of star wars you Wookie.

There were names for kids like you who used to watch Star Wars.
And on break times they used to get wedgies and there heads flushed down the John.

Of course your nickname would always be Dr Spok because of your ears wether you watched it or not
