Ed, Brian and myself, met at the Greggs drive through off the A7. It was a sunny but chilly Thursday evening but all ready for the first chippy run of 2023. After the usual pre-run chat, we headed off down the A7.
A few twists and turns and dodging some potholes we got onto some nice twistys and an hour or so later ended up in Longniddry, just as the sun was beginning to set. Didn’t think I”d complain about the sun, but heading back West into the setting sun was somewhat challenging. As we arrived at the chippy, i was just about to switch on the head grips as the temperature took a drop with the wind chill.
Pretty decent fish supper, good quantity, nice fish, good amount of salt’n’sauce, photos in the gallery. Only down side was a rediculously small fork.
As we got set to head back into Edinburgh along the coast road, Brian’s bike decided enough was enough and so a bump start was required. Enroute back to Edinburgh another two bump starts were required so at least Ed and I get some exercise after the large chippy. The clear evening and setting sun was a tad chilly but if did give us some amazing views of seaton sands, and portobello beach.
Thanks Ed and Brian for the company, good to get out after work. Hopefully Biran, you got home in one piece?
Onto the next one in a few weeks.
Run date 20.04.23
