Keefy Beefy, but I'll only have English pounds with me, & I'm not sure I'll get a chance to get to a bureau de change ahead of the race. Maybe I can barter with some shiny pebbles? ;)

I actually bought my little tube of suncream in Musselburgh Tesco at easter (didn't need it then!). It'll be like a homecoming for it.

recommend wigwam socks, one of the best bits of running gear I have ever been given buckshee! We have had thunderstorms and torrential rain all evening 13 miles from Edinburgh and its now quite pleasant! Don't worry about the weather peeps, this is Scotland and you never know what its going to do from one half hour to the next so no point in stressing. Happy running on Sunday all, not in Fetch gear but will shout hi at any fetchies who pass me:)

(think I may actually be looking forward to it now!)

Queensferry street is the one that peels off of the west end of princes street and passes over the dean Bridge.
