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.

Happy New Year from the Dirty Weekenders!

We hope you all had a great holiday, and are ready to get back to normal!
