Sledging with Steve and Helen
Christmas 2009 with my good mate Steve and his wife Helen...We took the kids sledging for the first time ever up to Braidburn Valley Park in Edinburgh to take advantage of the snow.
A walk up Blackford Hill, Edinburgh
It is said that Edinburgh is built on seven hills (like Rome). Actually there are many other hills as cyclists will testify to. The main seven are Blackford, Corstorphine, Arthur's Seat, Calton Hill, Castle Rock, Craiglockhart Hill and the Braid Hills. This is a wee walk up Blackford Hill.
Although Blackford Hill is only 167m high its quite a steep climb to reach the top. Its the home to The Royal Observatory and there are also communication masts situated there. The views are spectacular. There is a 360 degree panorama but the best views are of Edinburgh Castle and Arthur's Seat/Salisbury Crags.
This video starts just beyond the car park at Blackford Pond. We walk to the west side of the pond, past the allotments towards the steep steps built from massive planks of timber. This is the quickest way up but is also the hardest. Near the top the observatory comes into view as do many other features such as the Braid Hills and Pentland Hills towards the south. Other landmarks include Craiglockhart Hill with Craiglockhart House (formerly a hospital) where the war poet, Wilfred Owen was treated for shell shock during WW1. The building is now part of Napier University. After taking in the views from the trig point the journey continues down the east side of the hill to rejoin the pond once more.
