I am not sure I would have walked as far along the ridge as where we were. I only found Anth because I went further on thinking I might be in the wrong place and then came back at it from a different path to make my breakfast anyway. It was a bit like being at the end of the world though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6726#post-72086 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:09:14 +0000 kaputnik 72086@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I made it a little bit late, poked around the place, saw some promising silhouettes that turned out to be gorse bushes in the haar so eventually slithered back to the road and just finished my breakfast at my desk instead. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6726#post-72084 Fri, 25 May 2012 08:55:35 +0000 amir 72084@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I did look up from the Innocent as I passed but just fog. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6726#post-72081 Fri, 25 May 2012 08:26:40 +0000 PS 72081@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Maybe it's smoke rather than haar? ;o)<br /> <a href="http://ow.ly/i/EmIY">View from Anth's breakfast table</a></p> <p>I looked out the window at 6.50, saw the haar and went back to bed. #Fairweatherbreakfaster </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6726#post-72077 Fri, 25 May 2012 08:09:25 +0000 chdot 72077@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What a difference not a day makes -</p> <p>"<br /> LBFRS (@LBFire)</p> <p>24/05/2012 23:08</p> <p>Fire at Arthur's Seat now extinguished by crews.

Perhaps that's deliberate, perhaps not. It's not normally happy lighting via a lighter, or whatever, and tends to do a minor explosion when it does! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6726#post-71968 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:05:53 +0000 cb 71968@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"My stove currently missing its piezo so won't light"</p> <p>Matches? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6726#post-71967 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:04:56 +0000 DaveC 71967@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What is Girl Freind Flour?? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6726#post-71966 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:04:53 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 71966@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Should have said DaveC, it's BYOB (Bring Your Own Breakfast...) ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6726#post-71964 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:04:13 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 71964@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Precise-a-mundo Mr Pig.
