Sunday’s project with Spokes – #3

First of all, thanks to everyone that joined us for the ceilidh on Tuesday, it was a great success. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and there were no trips to the hospital! If you have photos from the ceilidh you can email them to us or post them on our Facebook page. Expect a post on it soon.

Now, onto this weekend:

This Sunday we’re doing a project together with Spokes who are a cycling campaign group in Edinburgh, who among other things help maintain paths in and around Edinburgh. We’ll be helping them clear some muddy paths in Morningside.

Due to the location of this project and the bus we need to catch we’ll be meeting at the tool cupboard at 10:15am – 15 minutes after our usual start time. We should be back at the tool cupboard and going to the pub at roughly the same time as usual.

 Boots or wellies are a must for this – you have been warned!

Pub meeting at 9pm tonight as usual

Currie Wood this Sunday – Project #2

50357

This Sunday we will be heading to Currie Wood, just south of Edinburgh. Here is a message from our project organizers:

” Have you been kept up at night by a longing for axes? Do you hear ‘ring-barking’ blowing on the wind. If this is you (or if you’re less crazy) then this week brings good news with our visit to Currie Woods! It has been said that we will be tree felling and ring-barking, so put on your sturdy footwear, pack your warm clothes and bring your favourite water bottle along to the tool cupboard outside the Pleasance CSE at 10am this Sunday to quench your thirst for hitting trees with sharp things!

Nina and Cameron “

We look forward to seeing you there!

Quick reminders:

Ceilidh on Tuesday 28th at Teviot, 7:30pm with £3 entry. Bring yourself and others along!

Pub Tonight at 9pm as usual – also after Sunday’s project (~5pm)

The Gunpowder Mills at Roslin Glen

Regular dirties member, John Godlee, was one of the group that went to Roslin Glen on Sunday. Here’s what he had to say about it;

“Our foray into the gunpowder mills at Roslin Glen was loads of fun, there had been quite a bit of storm damage over the Christmas period so we all got very muddy digging drainage ditches and repairing the paths, this meant lots of mattocking and racing wheelbarrows, facepainting ensued! Roslin was beautiful, the sun shone, the air was crisp and the spring buds are just beginning to poke through the leaf litter, it’ll be spring before you know it. As always we limped back to the Auld Hoose to discuss all things outdoorsy and eat our own body weight in nachos. Tired but content…”

It appears as though it was another successful project. We will be back in Roslin Glen on the 23rd of February!

Also a reminder of the ceilidh a week today (28th), and as always we will be meeting in the Auld Hoose on Thursday from 9pm.
