Fancy a firewalk? Well apparently firewalking has many benefits!
It is said to increase confidence and self-esteem while allowing you to release fears and doubts and transform those fears into positive action.
You can take part in a firewalk at Thistle Foundation in Craigmillar on 3 April 2016.
The Thistle Firewalk ’16 will be operated by Blaze the Firewalk experts, who are said to have an impeccable safety record.
The event runs for three hours from beginning to end as all participants must first go through training designed to equip them with the resources to walk unharmed across 20’ of wood embers burning at 1236 degrees Fahrenheit!
The Firewalk itself will start at sunset. After the Firewalk participants will be presented with your Certificate of Achievement.

A team from Boroughmuir High School has clinched the title of Scotland’s Young Consumers of the Year 2016 in a closely fought quiz competition held on Tuesday night at the Scottish Parliament.
School teams from Ayrshire, Dundee, Kirkintilloch, Edinburgh and as far north as Ullapool gathered to battle for a magnificent trophy and title of Scottish Young Consumers Champions.
It was a particularly close contest with the lead changing between Boroughmuir and Douglas Academy of East Dunbartonshire. However, the Edinburgh team prevailed in the all important final round where all contestants are competing on buzzers. The Edinburgh captain, Jess McGhee was particularly fast at predicting questions and producing correct answers before the other teams.
Boroughmuir now qualify to compete in the UK Final, which will be held in London in June. Here they will represent Scotland and battle against fellow Young Consumers from across the UK.
Schools in the capital have a proud track record in the competition with Boroughmuir High and Portobello High previous UK winners.
