I think you should all have another meet when we are up in the 1st week of July so I can meet you all

Frick!!! Im up near Inverness.....if anyone can find super-cheap transport let me know, me and wee man would love to come xx

Megabus!!!!???

 

[SarahH]

I would love to, but realistically I would only manage the last week of April or first week of May as I will need to get some pennies together after coming back from the states.

Is there anywhere in Perth? Just a suggestion since it in the most central place in Scotland.

Megabus!!!!???

Dont do it!!! I got the mega bus from Aberdeen to Edinburgh before and oh my god it was a killer, my bum was numb by the time I got there. Usually if you book trains far enough it advace it is cheap enough

 

[muppetmummy]

Hey,

Perth is good for us! Does anyone know what parking is like in Perth and how near car park and/or train station are to location? I will be 8 months preggers with a toddler so keen not to walk far!

Shall we start a poll? Mondays or weekends seem popular so far....

Just throwing some dates out there, how about adding to poll:-

Saturday 4 April
Sunday 5 April
Monday 6 April
Saturday 11 April*
Sunday 12 April*
Monday 13 April*
Saturday 18 April
Sunday 19 April
Monday 20 April

* = Easter weekend I think...

If we end up driving, I am happy to offer a lift to someone based near me, kmac or Leese?

Becky, can you get to Perth okay?

Gotta agree with Sarah. I took a megabus to Glasgow (from Aberdeen) once. It took forever, there was next to no ventilation and by the time we arrived the whole lower level smelt very strongly of piss. I kid ye not It's seriously not worth it.

As for me, I'll be hoping to make it to something later in the year

Noah's Ark in Perth is nowhere near the train or bus stations, that's a problem. I'd probably be getting the bus if we went to Perth - don't think OH would want to be surrounded by strangers with babies

 

[valentine]

Could we maybe sort out lifts/driving then? Sounds like a nice place to go and I'm keen.

I have 2 x Maxi Cosi Priori 20lbs+ toddler car seats or 1 + space for an infant carrier and happy to take a passenger and toddler/baby from East Coast. I'm sure others would too.

Arrrgggh just realised you said you'd be getting the bus dsl - are there local Perth buses from bus station to Noahs Ark?

Xxx

 

[SarahH]
