Feel the Burn

Starting at the entrance to Hermitage of Braid park just beside the old tollhouse which if now a wee cafe. You can park on Hermitage Drive which is just round the corner. There are some yellow lines but its fine a bit further on with lots of on street free parking.
This is an urban adventure where we will follow the Braid burn down through the Hermitage to Inch park and then follow the Brunstane burn to Newhailes. After our break we will head towards Queen Margaret Uni, then onto wee farm roads and into Little France park and a lovely downhill to Craigmillar Castle. Then its along the Innocent railway and a jiggle through the Blackets and Astley Ainslie Hospital back to Hermitage. Approx 95% on wee quiet roads or gravel/cycle paths so its not really suitable for very skinny tyres.
I have put this down as challenging as there is quite a bit of gravel as well as few hills although nothing horrible! Please message me directly if you need more info?

This ride is an urban adventure following the Braid and Brunstane burns and coming back via QMU, Little France Park and the Innocent railway.
