Western Adventure

Meet point is under the bridge at Colinton near the entrance to the Colinton Tunnel where there are several parking spaces. We will head out towards Balerno via the Water of Leith path and then follow quiet backroads to Kirknewton. After crossing the A71 (using the new pedestrian crossing) we will have our coffee stop in East Calder. Off through Calderwood, Clifton road and Ratho and home by the canal and Water of Leith. A few hills but nothing horrible and some lovely views over the Forth.

Lovely route heading out into West Lothian on mainly quiet back roads.

Mainly very quiet roads starting with Water of Leith path and a bit of the canal.

A coffee stop is planned at approx 12 miles in East Calder
