On Sunday we went to Craiglockhart Forest, just south of Morningside. We worked with a member of the cyclist campaign group ‘Spokes‘ to help maintain the foot and cycle paths. Members of the ‘Friends of Craiglockhart Wood and Nature Trail‘, local dog walkers (and their dogs!) greeted us there with enthusiasm. Hopefully the paths are now in noticeably better condition than when we started!
Here are some photos from the days work, but Click here for the full gallery!
We had a great turnout for our ceilidh on the 28th January. We were joined by some of the Edinburgh University Folk Society (FolkSoc) ceilidh band, who helped us to have a great night.
Here are some photos from the night (courtesy of John Godlee):
Thanks to our socials organizers (Rosie & Rachel), the Folk Soc, all those who donated items for the raffle and everyone that could make it along. Sláinte!
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!
