I’m back from a short hiatus 👋 Things have been a bit hectic behind the scenes, but we’re back on track. Over the break, I’ve standardised the layout of every page on East Lothian Online — this makes it far easier to expand quickly and keep everything looking clean and consistent. A new posting system is also being worked on to make it easier and faster for local groups, businesses, and residents to share their events. This next stage is all about speeding up growth and making the platform truly community-driven. Ethan

Thanks for all the support so far! We’ve had a great response already, with lots of emails and interest coming in from across East Lothian. Over the next few weeks we’ll be focusing on getting schools, churches, pubs, and community groups set up with their own dedicated pages , so that everything is easy to find in one place. Don’t forget — on ELO you can search a date and instantly see everything happening that day across East Lothian. It’s the simplest way to plan ahead and never miss what’s on locally. I’m committed to replying to every email within 24 hours . Sometimes it might be late in the evening as I fit this around work, but you’ll always get a reply. Thanks again for helping build East Lothian Online into something for everyone.

Sep 28, 2025, 10:00 AM Join Detour for a social bike ride and Vinyasa Yoga practice! Our events aim to bring people together to be active, mindful, and connected to the outdoors. We will meet by PATH (Portobello Active Travel Hub, on Porty Promenade, end of Pipe Lane) at 10am . We’ll ride around 15 miles to Longniddry, with plenty of stops to chat, hydrate and enjoy the scenery. The route is mostly made up of cycleways, gavel/forest paths and quiet roads, suitable for most bikes. We vary the route slightly each month to showcase hidden local paths and views. Around 12:15 we will arrive at Fern Bothy, where snacks and hot drinks will be provided. Jorja will then lead a 1 hour Vinyasa Yoga class , suitable for all levels. Class will begin with grounding, breathwork and gentle mobilisation, before building into more dynamic flows. The practice will gradually wind down through calming postures and savasana. You are welcome to jump on a train home from Longniddry, or ride back to Edinburgh together! (Please arrange your own train ticket and bike booking if you are taking this option.) Yoga only tickets are also available , if you would prefer to meet us at Fern Bothy for class. Class will run 1-2pm. Feel free to arrive from 12:30 for a cuppa! What to bring: A helmet A lock for your bike Warm layers and waterproofs (just in case!) A bottle of water Plenty of snacks (or even some lunch) Please make sure your bike is serviced and in full working order. The route will be guided, but you are responsible for your own bike safety. Yoga mats and props will be provided at the venue. Make sure to wear clothing you are comfortable to move in. Please note that the venue can only be accessed via stairs, therefore is unfortunately not accessible. Let us know in advance if you have any dietary requirements. If you'd like to attend but don't own a bike , we recommend Porty Community Energy's free/donation based bike library hires, available from the start point of our route. (Book in advance through Porty Energy). The session will be led by Jorja Follina, a Dance Artist and Movement Teacher who completed her 200 hour Astanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training at Sampoorna Yoga India. Jorja has attended Cycling Scotland's Ride Leader Training, and has been teaching a range of movement disciplines for the past ten years. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to message us on Instagram @detour_movementbybike We hope to see you there!
