Bit tired and emotional

Just come back from clubbing in our next secret location where Edith was doing some DJing. It was brilliant - yeeeeeeah! And the crowd were LOVING IT! It's BIG out there!

Clue to our next location: Our equipment truck is being guarded by the army. Does that help? Find out where we are on the Chris Moyles show on Thursday morning.

Note to self: drink lots of water NOW.

Have felt better

We're meeting for breakfast at nine and I think we're all gonna be fine.

Thursday - 10.13am

Edith

Oh what a night!

Phew, what a night was had at Lava and Ignite here in Edinburgh last night. Just suffering this morning, but thankfully no sick.

When Moyles phoned me during his show I had that thing of "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, it can't be already!"

Missed the shot :(

I took a photo of the man setting off the One O'Clock Gun at Edinburgh Castle, but unfortunately things all got a bit shakier than expected. So I used my second shot in the end - not quite as dramatic.

Will remember to pack the tripod next time.

Edith

Tiiiiired but happy

I hadn't been to Edinburgh Castle since I was a kid and remember being bored out my skull. This time round I really enjoyed it and Charlie, our Obi Wan of Edinburgh Castle was quality. Again, a glorious day, the view was incredible and I could see right over the Firth of Forth to Anstruther.

Back in the vans and over the bridge to Fife, so close to home. I'm so tired now that I don't actually have the energy to move my seat back in the car so I can sleep.

Oh and by the way - good luck to the person who might have already found the tickets I hid on the way.

Fake announcements

I think we've all had too much sun. Today was great fun on the top of Edinburgh Castle, but by the end of the day Colin & Edith were doing fake announcements over the tannoy system promising half price sandwiches, free cakes and a date with Colin. Not sure what the Japanese and American tourists made of our behaviour.

We're driving to Dundee now and it's starting to rain. Just had a text from the Chris Moyles team who also arrive in Dundee tonight. So I'm sure we'll be meeting up for a glass of wine later in the hotel bar. Sounds like more potential bad behaviour.

Where are we again?

We're now in Dundee! I'm pleased because I'll get to spend the next four nights in the same hotel room. Might even put my clothes in the wardrobe to celebrate.

Despite all being a bit tired today we're also excited - as you can see, the tents are nearly built, and tomorrow we've got a live acoustic set from The Ordinary Boys on the show.
