For weeks I have been staring at the small mountain in the middle of the city, better known as Arthur’s Seat. It is a great little climb with two options… Take the nice slow sloping route or take the route that is the ultimate¬†stair-master¬†and is meant to give you a coronary. Well I chose to take the hard one. It was a beautiful clear day and I could see for miles. From the top you can look west at the city center with the castle jumping out of it. A little to the left you can make out the meadows and at the end of the meadows is my flat. I made sure to take one pic from my flat looking at the mountain and one from the top of the mountain looking back at my house. Edinburgh is actually right on the east coast of Scotland which gives you a great view of the ocean and all the way up the coastline toward St. Andrews. It was a great workout and I hope to do it at least once every two weeks. Its a short hike only taking 20 minutes to climb (with a few picture breaks). Check out my pictures in the new gallery¬†Hike Up Arthur’s Seat.¬† [...] [...] Finally I have done it.
