arthurs seat

alright so for anyone thats never been to Edinburgh.
arthurs seat is in holyrood park where the palace of holyrood is

i love it,its a great park and im guessing pretty unique for a city to have the likes of it in the city centre

this is at the highest point (a bloody fair trek from the bottom!)

i like the trek from the foot all the way up.

Re: arthurs seat

i often go up arthurs seat when i dont fancy a plain run. good for working the legs with less impact than running.
theres loads of paths ,so you can go for a plain run,un/climb or more aggressive climb.
today i went for the steep paths

Re: arthurs seat

some good pics there, looks like you had some nice weather in some of them!

i used to love those parts of edinburgh, we always went to my grandparents on holiday when we were young, and we always did stuff like that

thanks for the memories.
