Arthur was here?


Today was "blow off Freshers' Week and do something fun" day. Forget my non-functional computer software and accessories - if you've had to sit through an Induction Day the afternoon before, the only thing to do is climb a mountain.

I will say that the view from the top of Arthur's Seat, a 250.5-meter "volcanic pimple," is superb on its own, but it's much better with good company, good weather, a flyaway cheese wrapper, and "Skirt Girl," who decided climbing a mountain in a wrap skirt and flip-flops would be fun. Among her many problems was the stiff breeze on top of the mountain, which made the temperature much cooler and the hair a bit crazy.

In all, an excellent afternoon, though I'm afraid I took too many pictures of Edinburgh from above.
