When we got to Edinburgh we promptly went off to hike Arthur's seat. It was extremely windy. At one point I feared for all of our lives. After we'd been hiking for awhile a couple passed us and I asked them how much longer to the top and the guy said, "once you get up there, you have to hold on to something or you'll blow off." But we kept going and found out he was right.
It is a beautiful view of the city.
Here we are with our Professor, John Bennion. This whole Northern trip was his concoction. He's invented the study abroad at BYU where you literally hike across the UK. We got a little taste of it during this week.
Of course I wondered the mph of these winds, and a girl there said she'd worked on some mountain top over the summer that had 70 mph winds and these were stronger. So upwards of 80 or 90. It was crazy.
