Central Scotland Forum August ride

[Scoosh]

1030 at Waverley for me but I may get the train back from Longniddry as I have never done this sort of distance before and am not sure if the legs will take it

Might be worth considering taking the train down to long niddery too ?? Don't want to exhaust you before the ride even starts

 

[Scoosh]

I think I will join at Longniddery then cycle back, as someone has to show you lot where to get the scones...

Jersey Relay knowledge .... it's a fine thing [ribs tummy]

 

[HJ]

Oh yes, forgot about that, so I can get the train back if I feeling tried...

Trouble is as I will probably use the train I have a 90 minute wait at Waverley to get to Longnnidry so thought I may as well cycle. If I miss the scones it will all be part of the weight loss programme, well that and the fact I am at work at 8:30 tomorrow night as well

Rather annoyingly Mrs LFG has decided she's not now using the car tomorrow, so I will be able to get to edinburgh earlier. Does this help?

 

[Scoosh]

Right, taking into account your means of transport (train/car/bike or any combination of them) is there anyone who is unable to get to L'niddry for the original meeting time of 1100 ??

If you are doing the train/cycle from Waverley (15 miles) can you still get to the 1100 meeting time ?

 

[lazyfatgit]

given the DISCUSSION i've just had, even if i have to get a taxi form home i'll be there.

As long as someone is there to meet me/us and show us the way, i,ll give it a go.

Hello, I joined CC yesterday

following the invite by Scoosh (thanks in the "Welcome" sub-forum (?), may I join you from Longniddry? I'll take the train, so either 11:00 or 11:30 is fine with me.

I'll catch the train back from North Berwick, as I've promised to do something else later tomorrow, nothing to do with the predicted westerlies . Looking forward

Great - we look forward to seeing you and meeting you there - if we can ever get organised

 

[HJ]

So what time do we have to be a Longniddery for??

 

[HLaB]

Any time suits me if somebody can say. Is anybody going to be at Waverley with a better knowledge of Edinburgh than me. We could follow my club run route to Longniddry, through Hollyrood Park and down Milton Road to Mussellburgh, by Fisherrow Harbour and along the coast to Longniddry.

BJ and LFG will be at waverley by 10 at the latest, unless i get totally lost.

Is parking on george st/st andrews sqr possible, or should i just go straight for the car park at castle terrace?

Parking should be free on a Sunday...

Cheers HJ, but TBH i've gone beyond caring about the cost. I don't even care if rampaging Hibees steal the bloddy thing, as long as we make the start.
