2. A PhD sdudent (also called Jim) Joined and we rode to Portobello, Leith and back via zigzags. I guess you could call it a circumbikulation of Calton hill, but from a distance. Great moonlight, second time running!

5 riders took to Crammond via School Brae and then on to Starbank, taking the paths to Newhaven. Experimentally riding Ocean Drive to Ocean terminal - very different at night, Unlit and a whole flitting family seemed to concealed in dark Ninja suits. back on the WOL path, after re-navigating at Teuchters for a barricaded bridge. Uneventful whizz home and a cheery libation then the Fountain bar. Cheers!
