Second time volunteering at a #Waverley Lakes #Parkrun today. Did pre-event set up which allowed me to run it too.

I did feel like a bit of a spare part as it was set up quite quickly by people who knew what they were doing but I will probably become that person one day - learn by doing/watching.

No PBs as carrying an injury right now but a fun morning.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚲 #Edinburgh #Waverley #railway station has renewed its partnership with The Bike Station to pass on unclaimed #bicycles for refurbishment and reuse.

Each year, dozens of bikes are left at the station. Over the past two years, more than 60 have been abandoned after attempts to reunite them with owners. Bikes are stored in cycle racks for up to two weeks, then moved to secure storage for six months before being released if unclaimed.

On 22 April, around 30 bicycles were collected and taken to Polmont Prison for cleaning and servicing as part of the refurbishment process.

The Bike Station refurbishes and resells bikes at affordable prices, reinvesting income into #cycling access projects, maintenance training and schemes such as Kids Bike Life.

The initiative helps reduce congestion at busy #cycle storage areas while supporting sustainable transport, skills development and wider community access to #cycling.

Keebin’ with Kristina: the One with the Height-Adjustable Key Caps

There was much talk of expanding the mezzanine overpass inside Waverley station, but it is far more logical to use the original entrances on Waverley Bridge down to the main concourse level. From there there are only five platforms that require a change of level- 1,8,9,10 & 20.
The remaining 15 platforms are all directly accessible from that level.

Far simpler than trying to build a complete new mezzanine floor with lifts and escalators to ALL the platforms. #Scotrail #waverley #networkrail

We picked up a jigsaw when we sailed on Waverley recently as the money raised from sales helps with the upkeep of the vessel and we like jigsaws. It wasn't a very good quality puzzle, sadly, but it was fiendishly difficult as a lot of pieces were cut nearly identically with almost identical colouring. We rebuilt the edges and lots of sky and water several times in various fitting combinations before finishing.
