I left about 9:15 and it was quiet then!In previous years I've crossed the start line at about 9am, in the midst of a huge crowd. This year I travelled through to Glasgow with a group and we set off from the Green at 10:30. Leaving so late meant no queuing, no bunching, no crowding and no danger
I registered on the day, and was expecting to have to queue for that, but no - it was quiet too.
Set off to find the start line and thought that it would be a case of following the crowd and then queue for 20 minutes to cross the start line as I had to do last time I did PFS in 2011. Again, there was no crowd and no queue!
All along the route there were no bottle-necks as on previous years. Just a short wait at the Linlithgow bridge traffic lights.
Not sure if it is down to better organisation, or has there been a drop in numbers? It would be a shame if their greed for higher fees was beginning to kill it off. The weather was perfect so I was expecting a much bigger crowd at the start.
