Hullo everyone,
Here are the details for the trip to
You will need to make your own travel arrangemenets
to Edinburgh either by train (http://www.britrail.com)
or by bus (http://www.britbus.com). The
bus is about half the fare but twice the time. There is a red-eye bus that will
put you in Edinburgh the next morning.
Suggested itinerary:
Travel to Edinburgh, arrive
either late on the 17th or early on the 18th.
Friday, June 18: Tour Edinburgh's Royal Mile on foot. Saturday, June 19: Meet at the Balmoral Guest House at 11:00 a.m. for travel to Siccar Point. Be sure to bring food or eat before we go.
Return to Edinburgh around 6:30 p.m. This trip will be to Scotland's classic
rocky shoreline to visit the rocks found by James Hutton and his Oyster Club
that eventually led to the revolution in the field of geology.
Travel back to Oxford either late on the 19th or early on the 20th.
You will also need to make your own arrangements for accomodations in Edinburgh. I recommend doing this as soon
as possible, as hotels, B&Bs, and hostels fill up
quickly in the summer. You can make reservations online at the following
hostels:
1. St. Christopher's
2. Scottish Youth Hostel Association (SYHA)
hostels (there are 5 in
