Option for a light lunch before heading home.

PROPOSED

Day 2 - Alpine Coaster - Based in Edinburgh's Midlothian Snowsports Centre in Hillen: an interactive 980 metre coaster ride which lasts just over three minutes. 

Rides - x1  = £7.00,  X3 = £19.00

Once Joyce has numbers interested, she can book to secure the slots available.

ACCOMODATION 

Suggest options near to the Snowsports Centre

Premier Inn Dalkeith -  £70-84 if booked in advance   (A  few of us have booked this 1.)

The Melville Inn Dalkeith -   £69- 89

Laird and Dog Inn  - £99

The Sun Inn  -£110

NB  Prices can vary daily - if prices suddenly go up, try in a few days time as they can come down again.... Joyce has paid £14.00 dearer !!

DINNER - Although all accommodation offers basic fayre, The Melville Inn seems recommended and has more variety in dinner options.  Once I have numbers I can do a group booking for dinner.

Note on planning

Sunday /Monday dates in May  were chosen to keep costs down, weekend options were more than double the price. 

 For those still working  plenty time to put in your request for A/L well in advance.

Please contact Joyce if interested.
