Roslin Glen

Colin, Cherry and Hannah went for a walk in Roslin Glen. Lovely afternoon - we were able to sit outside for tea and coke at the cafe in Roslin. Got a bit lost on the way back! Photos may follow later.

Blaze

Hannah and Colin went out to the Festival Theatre to see Blaze a street dance show. Pretty good.

Berlin - Day 4

Last full day in Berlin. Had hoped to do some cycling but the weather remained too grim. Went on a city tour bus and some of the more farflung sites light the Charlottenburg Place.

Berlin - Day 3

Another wet day so we headed off for more musuems. There was a new exhibition on the rise of Hitler. Then in the afternoon we went to the Jewish museum which was housed in a striking moderm building with eerie features like a large vault with a single bit of sunlight at the top.

Berlin - Day 2

The weather turned on Day 2 with cold and rain. It didn't change for the rest of the holiday. In the morning we went to the DDR musuem which had a good hands on exhibit about life in communist East Berlin. In the afternoon we went to the Pergamon museum which had ancient artifacts from Greece and Babylon. Included within the building were large temples and gates. Very impressive.

In the evening we went to the Sony Centre at Potsdamer Platz and watched the Social Network which was excellent.

Berlin - Day 1

Headed off for a short break in Berlin. A very early morning got us all out of bed at 4.45 am for a 6.30 flight with Ryanair. We arrive in Berlin tired after the journey on a lovely sunny but chilly morning. In the afternoon we went for a long walking tour of the city taking in all the main central sites over 3 1/2 hours. Very good and interesting.

Survival of the Fittest

Colin was up early for a tough run round the streets of Edinburgh. 1o km and 1o obstacles. Great fun. Hannah and Cherry were out to cheer along.

CATI O East Craiglockhart

Max and Colin went out from some social orienteering at Napier Campus Craiglockhart. Poor navigation from both led to very poor times on a short easy course.

Havana Rakatan

Three of us went out for an evening of latin dance and music. Spectacular dancing but a little lacking in variety.

Fight With the Night

First night orienteering of the winter. Kings Buildings which is now so familiar as to make the navigation pretty easy. Decent time although legs still stiff from Marathon.

Loch Ness Marathon

Completed my 5th road marathon on Sunday. Slowest time yet in 4 hrs 53 mins. Very hilly course and lack of training made it a tough day out.
