Bazoaxe Jan 2013 2:27pm, 13 Jan 2013 4,977 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe Yeah, it is wide enough and the only congestion was at the start and then the Qs at the end, which I luckily ran fast enough to avoid. I dont think the numbers running the route is a problem, is the number at the end handing in barcodes for scanning My biggest problem yesterday were dogs, I had 3 x instances of having to take avoiding action. I know we should all be mindful of each others, but dog owners shoukld really have their dogs under their control....

I wore my fetch top and was nice to get shouts of go fetchie as murphy the jack russel n I made our way at the back of the field

I am in Edinburgh for the weekend soonish and staying in Princess street, I won't have any transport and need to get back to town by 11.00 is it possible? if so how! TIA
