Edinburgh 21-23 August

With Tripod after their show at the Edinburgh Festival - Spicks and Specks fans will recognise Scott in the green shirt. We saw Carl Barron as well and got to chat to him after the show. The festival atmosphere in Edinburgh is just amazing. It is crazy that it is the place that has had the worst weather of anywhere on the Great Adventure, yet we both loved Edinburgh, great atmosphere, people and lots to do in a small area. Our B&B was a DIVE though, shame about that.

Kiwi Band at the Military Tattoo - they stole the show (seems they do it in Rugby and Bands!). This was amazing when very serious men dropped all instruments and did the Haka. They also did a pop song and some other stuff that got the crowd going. Very talented bunch

Mel with a coupla likely local lads. We were headed to see their show after the Tattoo on Saturday night (they gave us a free ticket) but we got so saturated watching the Tattoo that we had to go back to our accom and have hot showers and put the heater on to get dry and warm.
