Re. going to pub before/after XC, the XC timings are 11ish for the inter districts, right through until 1 for the international big ones. So I might snack and walk from 11 until 2pm, but then go to pub after that. I don't want to miss any of the races. They're amazing to watch. :-) G

Yup think will be quick tea then shower. I will be taking car to abbeyhill. Have been persuaded to go clubbing at night with folks I haven't seen for over 10 years and then been talked into an early morning run along the water of leith on Sunday.

Wonder how much things have changed.

So, if i leave the car at Portobello premier inn, i know that it is very walkable to parkrun? Then walkable again to holyrood for XC?

i may have to wrap up warm/dry clothes post parkrun and just groupie around with Happy G and worry about showering etc afterwards if there is a suitable window....!!

The XC is such an opportunity, and wouldn't want to miss them.

I am notoriously bad at getting my bearings round Edinburgh in general. (see my Edinburgh half marathon blog of May last year!)
if it's not princess st, or the coast i am gubbed!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow - just finishing cup of tea, then will finish getting organised & head in for the train. I'll probably be a quick tea after parkrun, then will need to head back to hotel for shower before I'm kicked out at 12. Then will see about walking/bussing it over to town, and hopefully seeing some xc on the way.

About This Thread

Maintained by katypie
Sat 7th Jan, Portobello parkrun, then into town for lunch / drinks, and possibly continuing on into evening and dinner.

10:15-12:00 Planet cafe for More tea, vicar? and Cake! www.planetcafeedin.co.uk
12:30-? Kilderkin for drinks, lunch, XC watching

Then folks who are heading off for early evening trains can walk to Waverley (it's uphill but about 10 minutes).
