We've literally been there three times in the last eight moves (even returning there immediately after the previous post). Is there not anywhere else we could go to instead??

Whilst there are no set rules on where we can and can't go, it does make journey planning trickier as I'm starting to run out of options!

It's okay, just giving you the heads up. Generally, we try not to double back unless we're in the arse end of nowhere :D

For the third and hopefully final time until next time, we next board the 1604 Edinburgh Trams service to Foot of the Walk, arriving there at 1627 on Sunday afternoon.
