London by bike, blogmeet

by lucreziaborgia @ Monday, Oct. 13, 2008 - 12:37:10

I am thinking of organising a blogmeet in London. London-by-bike, to be precise. I shall look into options and available tours, or even make up our own as we go - bikes can be hired in the capital and returned to an agreed place.

Let me know whether this is an idea that might interest you. One could even organise a Hallowe'en tour of the 'haunted pubs' by bike (I know there a few along the river). Is there any drinking and pedalling offence you are aware of?

Edinburgh Blogmeet 8th November - the plans

by GilraenH @ Sunday, Oct. 12, 2008 - 17:15:22

Hi there

Well, the Edinburgh blogmeet is coming up on Saturday 8th November.

I will be picking up RDW from the airport at 3.35pm (although I may park in town and get the airport bus in and out). Then RDW and I will be checking into the Sheraton on Festival Square and having a quick gin pick-me-up gentle relax before we head out to the Grassmarket (which has wonderful castle views). I figure we will get there about 6 or 7ish and I will try and get a seat in the Beehive Inn to the west end of the Grassmarket. This pub does get a bit busy later on but at that time of the evening it should be relatively quiet and we may be able to get something to eat, it has the usual pub fayre. People can take care of themselves if you fancy a bite to eat. I'm not planning to book a restaurant or somesuch as I think that will be too complicated, probably best if we all tuck into some pub grub before the pubs get busy. If I say we will be at the Beehive until at least 7pm (and stay longer if its not too hectic) then that is a good meeting place. If anyone wants to know my mobile number then please send me a message with your e-mail and I'll pass it along.

As for the following day (Sunday 9th) RDW doesn't have to be at the airport until the evening, so we have a bit of time to kill and for those folks that are still there can find a nice place to have lunch and have a shufty round the castle if you want or just take in the city. I can stay as long as people want as I only live 25 miles away and will have my car.

Edinburgh Waverely Station is virtually in the city centre so anyone should be able to walk there from the centre of town. The airport is a little further out of town, but there's a bus service that takes you to the city centre and if anyone wants a lift to the airport on Sunday evening, then I will be taking RDW there anyway (probably be leaving about 6pm for that).

So who's coming? And does anyone need to know any more details?

Here's some pics to get you in the mood:

I also quite like the look of Usky's Medieval Blogmeet though too!
