Edinburgh Moonwalk Pt 2

Im not a city boy. I find them too crowded and unfriendly places. But now and then I find one that is a joy. Edinburgh is one of those. It was my privilege to go up there this weekend to support the 10,000 walkers who attempted to walk either a full marathon distance or a half marathon distance to raise money for Breast Cancer Charity "Walk The Walk".

Edinburgh Moonwalk Pt 1

Well Becky and Olwyn are safely in Edinburgh preparing (well getting drunk!) for their marathon walk of over 26 miles around the City through the night tomorrow along with 10,000 others, raising vast amounts of money to help in the fight against Breast Cancer. A hugely important cause. I myself will be travelling up there to join up with the small army of 1000 crew who will ensure the event runs smoothly.

Home

I was home just in time for my birthday and it was lovely to spend it with my family. The timing of my return was pretty good. Birthday, Edinburgh Moonwalk, Fathers Day,Lincs Show, The Saturdays and 3 weddings (but no funerals I hope!)

Here are a few pics I got just before I left.

The view from the top of Kingdom tower of Riyadh at night. This photo doesnt do it justice. It was spectacular.

Last line of defence. One of the machine gun posts near my kitchen

The desert - very boring but had to be done!

My sampling of tradition arabic coffee and dates

Chop Chop Square. The chopping is done between the fountains after prayers on Fridays.

All Packed .....

... but going nowhere.

I cant get on a flight for another 36 hours.
Oh well ... lounging by the pool or some souvenier shopping beckons!

Heading Home

Hopefully fly home in a day or two. It's certainly been an experience!!

Camel

Camel turned into a bolognaise. Delicious!
