Bongo Fury

Tammuzzhq: not being the most agile person if I can catch or entrap a haggis for your team to take home after a visit to the forth on nat bongo day I think I can promise you one,that won't be a prob if that can get you ou here,lol

An excellent prospect. We only returned the other day empty-handed from a sortie north of the border, haggiswise anyway, although we did bag a fair dinkum of Lorne sausage, clootie dumpling and Wee Willie Winkies

Yeah went to get some wee winkies but shelve was empty(suspect you done the raid on halls products )going by your great pics

Muz, get your backside up here again at the end of the month and join the Selkirk Haggis Hunt. Learn from the experts.

Is that you Tony

That's a poor specimen of a haggis they caught though, aren't they supposed to use the ones made out of real sheep's bladders or something, not a plastic bag?

ive printed off this event and look fwd to being there.well its only 15 ,20 mins away.

Dunslair do I need to reseve a place or just squeeze in somewhere?

I usually find turning up late and pinching somebody's space works for me...... But then you know that don't you

I will pop down over the next few weeks and check out the lie of the land and report back.

When we were there recently there was plenty of free parking - except on days when there's a cruise liner due in, the dates of which were clearly marked on lamp-posts, midweek I think. As long as the date doens't clash with that it should be a good day!

The two bridges hotel is closed but there are other good eateries in the area. I am looking into the feasibility of a boat trip. If any one is interested let me know.

Think that's a great idea to tie in a trip on one of the boats.would be great if we can get enough names to go out in the forth.

You will have to supply your own boat. Scheduled sailings are from 1 April.
How about a walk around the Royal Burgh? Up 'Jacobs ladder' (count the steps) along the old Port Edgar railway line to the 'Back Braes' (good spot for photography looking over the Burgh) down the Loan to the harbour, along the beach to the '39 steps' and back to the promenade?

Can I watch you from The Hawes Inn, with a real fire flickering in the background and a steaming pile of Haggis and mash in the foreground?

I will join you when I finish the walk.
