All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 There is a Tornado Alley in the states, Edinburgh now seems to be in the thunder and lightning alley of the UK. We don't even get the high temperatures but we end up with the storms just the same! Don't mind watching the light show from the safety of the hoose though.

Tazio Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Quite the cycle home from in town. Wasn’t too bad but the Roseburn cycle path with it’s lack of decent lighting was creepy as feck with the lightning flashes. I felt like a lost hiker in a horror film.
