HappyG(rrr) Jan 2017 2:24pm, 6 Jan 2017 26,248 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) It's not a walk from Portobello Park (parkrun) to Holyrood Park (XC) though - 3 ish miles and uphillish. 1 hour plus? As before, I can offer lifts to 2 or 3 small people. I will be going straight after parkrun, not hanging about in café. And unlike Dvorak, I will be mostly outside to watch XC, and dip into pub briefly to defrost! (Actually forecast is 9C, so won't even be cold.) G

DoricQuine Jan 2017 4:01pm, 6 Jan 2017 3,008 posts	0 DoricQuine We are well used to relaxed service. I think there has even been an occasion when the results came through before everyone had got served!

I would prefer to not have to drive around city centre mind.

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).
