Other things to book ahead for...

Mountain biking in The Pentlands
Meeting Point: Flotterstone Inn car park
Milton Bridge (A702 Biggar Road, near Penicuik) EH26

Don will be leading an exhilarating ride in the Pentlands. The ride will take approximately 2.5 hours. Suitable for anyone of average fitness - it's uphill at the start but not too steep. This will be followed by a late lunch in the Flotterstone Inn which does good food and has the perfect setting for post ride relaxation. You'll need to have, hire or borrow a mountain bike or similar for this ride.

Saturday 29 March 11.30am
Aerial Assault
Venue: Edinburgh International Climbing Arena, Ratho, South Platt Hill, Newbridge, Edinburgh EH28 8AA

The Aerial Assault Course is the ultimate adrenaline rush, as you negotiate obstacles while suspended 100ft from the ground. It takes approximately 40 minutes to complete the course. Looking forward to this one!

Saturday 29 March - 7 for 7.30pm
Bring a friend dinner
Venue: The Borough Hotel, 72-80 Causewayside
Our popular series of dinners
- relaxed atmosphere

- 3 courses and coffee included
- equal numbers of men and women
- great fun and excellent value

Sunday 30 March 10.45 for 11am
Nordic Walking at Arthur's Seat
Meeting point: Cafe at Commonwealth Pool

Nordic walking is huge in Europe and it's becoming popular in the UK too. Originally developed in Finland by cross-country skiers who wanted to stay in shape over the summer. It's a terrific low-impact activity which helps you burn 20-40% more energy through the gentle upper body workout as you walk with the poles. The session will include explanation and demonstration of the technique and some walking time. The whole session will take between 1.5 and 2 hours depending on the speed of the group.  Average fitness is all that's required.

The week that was...

Donnie Munro was fabulous I hear. Love Sundays - Big Buffet Brunch at  Harry's Bar was fabulous fun as you can see from the two pictures below. Thanks to Beryl for taking them. It was a lovely Sunday and we'll be organising another one in coming months so do look out for it.

Live folk music at The Antiquary proved so good that we're considering a regular visit to different live music bars in Edinburgh.

Bring a friend dinner on Saturday was lovely as usual. Look out for our next date - Saturday 29 March - 7 for 7.30pm.

Have a lovely week.
