I've just booked a ticket to Aviemore for a few days, and found that until the end of March it only costs me £19 return. It would have been £39.60 one way.

Is there scope here for a meetup in Aberdeen or Inverness between March 11 and March 30th? Or anywhere else? It's would be a pity to miss a bargain.

Thank you Katek for booking Rusticos see you soon

Elizabeth1 Sat 07-Mar-15 20:50:37

Sounds lovely Elizabeth1. Enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Elizabeth1 Thu 05-Mar-15 09:45:26

Well guys at last I met up with with a complete stranger from a Gransnet holiday link. We had a lovely meet up and a wee lunch. She wore tangerine cut offs and I wore the usual white shorts. Where are we? Tenerife basking in the sun. sunshine sorry if this is the wrong link.

Katek Tue 03-Mar-15 09:45:04

I should fit right in then......!

Marelli Tue 03-Mar-15 09:36:56

Really looking forward to meeting you, Katek! And one word of warning - we all seem to talk non-stop grin
thatbags and Elegran, Elizabeth1 and I are in the same coach as you, but a good few seats away. We'll see you when we change at Dundee.
Baubles and Marmight - we'll miss you, but maybe next time. smile

Katek Tue 03-Mar-15 08:54:35

Oh blast! Does that mean I have to behave too?!?grin

Marmight Tue 03-Mar-15 02:28:49

Don't worry KateK they are all quite harmless and will be on their best behaviour - won't you girls?! So long as there is plenty of cupcake and wine grin

Katek Mon 02-Mar-15 22:58:27

Not a problem....I'm also looking forward to meeting all of you but feel a bit like first day in new school!!

thatbags Mon 02-Mar-15 12:37:58

Thank you, katek. Looking forward to meeting you.

Elegran Mon 02-Mar-15 11:36:06

Thank you, KateK

Next time, Marmight

Marmight Mon 02-Mar-15 10:59:21

Would love to join you, but will still be in Oz. Next time.
Have a great day wine

Katek Mon 02-Mar-15 10:54:16

That's Rustico's booked for 12.30. grin

baubles Sun 01-Mar-15 21:29:19

I'm sorry that I'm not able to join you, it sounds as if it'll be a jolly day. smile

Marelli Sun 01-Mar-15 18:02:03

Thank you, Katek! Going to get tickets booked asap.smile.

Katek Sun 01-Mar-15 14:09:36

12.30 sounds about right. It is just literally a 10 minute taxi ride from station. I'll get onto it - looking forward to meeting everybody! smile

Elegran Sun 01-Mar-15 13:05:46

I was just about to cast my vote for Rustico's, katek when I see that you have posted. Sounds as though Marelli likes it too. If you like it that is three of us. Elizabeth1 is living it up in Teneriffe at the moment so I don't know her choice.

Thatbags has booked her journey so will be there with me on the train that gets in at 11.46, Elizabeth1 and Marelli join the train at Dundee so we will all arrive together - what an invasion.

That is five of us unless anyone else joins us later - I am sure they can add another place if so.

How about booking for 12.30 or 1 ?

Katek Sun 01-Mar-15 12:41:12

What's eta? Will I book Rustico's and for how many?

Elegran Sun 01-Mar-15 10:44:14

Yes, 23rd March. Read your PMs before booking seats.

thatbags Sun 01-Mar-15 10:41:09

Final check that the date is 23 March...?

thatbags Sun 01-Mar-15 10:37:02

Great. Thanks. Hope I can find a seat near the rest of you. smile

Elegran Sun 01-Mar-15 10:35:33

The 9.29 am

thatbags Sun 01-Mar-15 10:34:21

Which train should I book on for the Edinburgh to Aberdeen leg?

Elegran Sun 01-Mar-15 10:32:52

I'll start shifting stuff at once.

thatbags Sun 01-Mar-15 10:28:42

Thank you! Please may I accept that kind offer.
