Thought I would start one of these as received an email telling me that there are only 12 weeks to go! :-)<br><br>

No I'm doing London which will be my first for 7 years, I do like Edinburgh as a place and it is easy to get to from Norwich too. Did you try to get in London ?

Yes, I did try for London but was rejected. :-(

We are flying from Norwich, which I am looking forward to. Never been to Edinburgh so should be a good all round experience

I've always got in :)

The airport is handily placed in Edinburgh only about 3 miles out, are you staying centrally ?

At a hotel right near the airport, so not too far out then :-)

Looking forward to it

Hi Corrina

I am doing Edinburgh and live here as well (at w*rk today). You can get a bus to West End, near the start from the airport on race day, the finish is a way out though at Musselburgh.

My first one too. Lasswade 10 looms tommorrow.

Me too :-)

I think there's a special bus at the end, from the race course back to town, think you get tickets at the expo. Otherwise there's plenty of normal buses.
