    Want to get out around Edinburgh

    Hi all, I've just came back from the Cairngorms and remembered how much I love camping etc.... so I would love to get out around Edinburgh for the occasional night. Not having a car really limits me to near by -- anyone got any good ideas / experience of places? Thanks all. Tim.

    Folk sayings about weather

    "Red sky at night - shepherds delight, red sky in the morning - shepherds warning" There is a pretty good reason for this being mostly true - at least in the UK. We get _most_ of out weather coming in from the west (driven here across the atlantic by the gulf stream) and the sun rises in...
