I normally try to blag a ticket or 2 from a mate who exhibits there as he gets a couple of free ones for each bay. Usually take my 14 year old daughter and her pal. I love to go around the competition tents for stuff like the chickens etc. Brilliant day out. Theres nothing else like it. Even if its raining theres so many roads and good drainage that there is no chance of getting wet feet!

Never thought of that, with what the weather's doing at the moment....

 

Is the drainage 'that good'....?

Did it last year. mega early train from Morpeth, then the shuttle bus from Edinburgh to the show. And vice versa back all in the same day.

 

Killed the OH, as she has Crohns and 'Ankylosing Spondylitis', she (shouldn't) do things like this, but she was determined.

 

But this year, we're taking the caravan to the Edinburgh CC site just north of the show on the Friday, having the day there on the Saturday, and returning home Sunday.

 

More spread out, so it 'should be' easier on her this time....

 

Sorry to hear about the Ankylosing Spondylitis. I have a friend in Norway with the same condition. There is another member on here with it.

 

Terrible condition. Good to hear of her determination to try and not let it set her back.

Easy to get from Edinburgh Waverly to Ingliston with the tram, should cost about £3.00 for a return ticket.

The shuttle bus from the square takes you to the gates.

 

Much better than the tram....

 

Also, if you have pre booked and pre printed tickets, there's a separate gate.

 

OK, there might be a queue at it but it moves SO much faster than all the other 'pay on entry' gates put together.....
