Derek,
Many thanks for taking the trouble on my behalf. I had briefly thought about trains, and the possible rigours of driving to the north at that time of year, but when I started to think about the 'wardrobe' I would need to take with me (it is a Burns Nicht Dinner after all), I realised how much easier it would be just to lay everything out in the back of the car and drive!
As it happens, I had a call from Derek (DWG69) in Norfolk this morning and we have agreed to travel to Dumfries together, probably sharing the driving as I can easily pick him up enroute. We'll stay at The Ferintosh for two, maybe three, nights sharing a twin room and having time for a little sightseeing too.
Derek spoke with Robertson today and made the booking arrangements!
This is certainly turning out to be the Burns Nicht to end all Burns Nichts - will Dumfries ever be the same again, I ask myself!
