Jim's Evening Rides 2018  

 

We are holding a Moonlight Sky ride each month until March. Scroll down to see.  

 

Meetup 7pm outside the Apothecary pub at Lister Square

8 Lister Square, Simpson Loan, Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH3 9GL.     The old Simpsons unit. Behind what we used to call Peter's Yard,

near the new Söderberg, and between Lauriston Place and the Meadows.  

In addition to the pub and Söderberg there's a Malaysian that does a mean Won Ton soup.   

The eight benches you can see in the picture are public so you don't need to buy anything to use them. 

Zoom out using '-' button to see where this is. 

and here's a Strava trace from Middle Meadow walk
