Hi there folks

Working slap bang in the centre of Edinburgh I'm ideally placed for lunchtime excursions into Holyrood Park and have actually managed Arthurs Seat in my lunch hour with suprising regularity over the past 5 years or so, probably averaging two ascents a week............with there being a 6 week period when I never missed a day

Staring out of my office window at the swirling snow and relishing the prospect of an interesting third ascent for the week it dawned on me that it might be good to have a bit of company on occasion

My colleagues have looked at me like I have 'horns growing out of ma heid' when asked in the past so that won't be happening

So, as the title says, it's a long shot but if there is anyone else working/living in EH1 or 2 who could be game for a spot of lunchtime scrambling and a quick ascent then give me a shout

And just to be clear, we're talking about walking rather than running, my knees would never cope!!!!! :wink:
