Rat Race

It would seem that the kayak portion of this will be on Portobello beach today (at the Joppa end):

It's still all hush-hush:

I saw a few people down there the other day with kayaks, looking very conspiratorial and taking notes, so that would make sense. Hope you are going to be around to get a few more photos of the event for us?

It's on the go now... Not much to see really:

1. Cycling from ?? to pumping station, down the prom to the swiming pool
2. Run along the beach with oars from the swimming pool
3. Kayak out from beach outside pumping station to ??? (Seafield end??)

My camera's not up to it much! Not enough zooooooom! Need to get that new one.

And anyway I've got to do a fleeting visit to Glasgow...

EDIT: have resixed - but now you can't make out the kayaks in the water!

Who needs a webcam? Just keeping taking photos and post them every 30 seconds.

Maybe not all quite as large as that one though. I can barely get it on my screen!

'twas the default res of the camera - didn't have time to resize as I was in a rush to get into Glasgow... to pick up an engagement ring.

Thanks! Although it was raining in Glasgow for the brief 30 minutes I was there... The guys in work who come through from Glasgow dinnae believe me - "It's always raining above an Aberdonian when he spends money!"
