Its supposed to be followed by bacon butties, but I've never managed that. I like the idea of cooking breakfast up there after! I just took a flask of tea last time. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4521#post-47968 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 11:09:05 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 47968@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Took a whim last night to take the camp stove to work so I could cook myself brekkie on Arthur's Seat this morning. And was I going to let a little wind put me off?</p> <p>Seriously, sitting eating bacon, drinking freshly brewed coffee (at home, popped in a flask mug), watching a Kestrel hunting, seeing the sun come up, losing the feeling in your fingers from the cold, watching a metallic-orange-lycra-clad cross-country ski-training-bod on long rollerbladey things, is hard to beat.</p> <p>Thoguh I might wait till spring before the next time - although a nice crisp clear winter morning would be nice...</p> <p>Oh, and porridge next time. Easier/quicker than sausages, bacon and eggs.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/6398981997/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7166/6398981997_c13ba98c22.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/6398981997/">Untitled</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/blackpuddinonnabike/">blackpuddinonnabike</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/6398980607/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7031/6398980607_3cf51a57f9.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/6398980607/">Untitled</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/blackpuddinonnabike/">blackpuddinonnabike</a>, on Flickr </p>
