Tour de Forth

First cycle event in about 20 years. Start at 8.30 am at Ocean Terminal Leith. Headed out to Craigies Farm then Forth Road Bridge, along North side of Forth to Kincardine (did an extra bit to Alloa and back because of the poor signage). Then back along South of Forth via Grangemouth, Bo'ness, South Queensferry. Including the cycle too and from start it was a total distance of 81 miles and about 7 hours cycling.

New Rope String Band

The city seems very busy this year with Festival activity. George Street has been closed off with theatre and bars in the middle of the street outside the Assembly rooms. We all went to an late afternoon show at the Spiegletent to see a comic musical show. Nice light entertainment that was well worth the trip.

Speed of Light

We've made several trips to Holyrood park to look at the speed of light "show". Lots of runners with lights attached running around in the Park to make an "art exhibit". You can pay £25 for a light stick and join a group walk round the park to the summit of Arthurs Seat. We just turned up and watched. Hannah enjoyed it son much we have been three times ! It's actually not a lot to look at but presents a great opportunity for long exposure photos.

North Berwick Law Hill Race

First race in quite a while. Lovely evening and a great wee race from the Harbour up to the top of the Law. Pretty pleased with the run. Gained quite a few placed on the ascent and descent. Not a lot of kick in the legs on the last mile or so back into town. Finished middle of pack and beat at least one person who normally comes in ahead of me.
