Stag Trip Number 3!!!!
Anthony Page had to resign from the board of Wise Owl Tours to allow us to organise his own Stag Trip. Anthony and Sharon Ledlie got married on Saturday 30th August and Mr Page's Stag Trip was held in Edinburgh over the weekend of 25th - 27th July 2003.
A number of new Wise Owl Virgins joined as what is WOT's 3rd Stag Trip. It was an early start for the boys this year - meeting at Shagwell Manor for a drink at 6am before heading off to the Airport. This year we had two flights - 1 to Manchester, then onwards to Edinburgh.br>
This years accomodation was even more upmarket. Staying at the Edinburgh Travellodge all rooms had TV and were en-suite!!
Once in Edinburgh we headed to the Royal Mile for the drinking to begin. Friday saw "Pagey's Challenge" with Ant having to complete some weird challenges, including eating 2 deep fried mars bars, singing God Save the Queen waving an England Flag and kissing 5 women aged over 60!!
We were joined later that day by Ant's family and friends from the UK. Partying carried on well into the night.
The Saturday saw an early rise and our first drinks at 10am whilst watching the rugby! Most of Saturday was spent working our way down Rose Street through the many pubs. The highlight of this had to be the impromptu Can Can and Greg's impression of STAG!!! After just 12 hours drinking we headed to Edinburgh's no 1 night spot (!!!) Subway. Ken Brown was in full swing with his rendition of "I am the one and only" Chesney Hawkes eat your heart out!!
After a lie-in on the Sunday it was over to the Hard Rock Cafe before heading to Glasgow Airport for our flight back to the Isle of Man.
Thanks to everyone who joined the trip, and best wishes to Anthony & Sharon for the future.
