Power back on. Sounds of chain sawing. Think yet another Beech tree has succumbed.
Neighbours had visitors from Leeds trying to get back yesterday. Ened up getting lift to Perth to catch a train to Edinburgh that got cancelled. On web LNER were not running so luckily they didn't get to Edinburgh as they would have got stuck there.

There is a lot of bitty debris on the canal towpath today, particularly west of Wester Hailes with its lower footfall.

If you didn't hear, London-Edinburgh-London was paused and then riders were told to head back due to the storm. Just one rider (the magnificent Iain McBride) made it to Dalkeith before he was paused, and I think he will be the only one to complete the ride this year (during the actual event - at least one person did a helpers ride the week before).
That meant the northern controls were largely unused (eg 350 beds at Dalkeith), and lots of volunteers redundant. Those that weren't paused in time to avoid some of the higher rides in northern England and Scotland talk of terrible winds.
Many of our Scottish contingent are now taking the opportunity for a tour, many back to London using the controls.
