Its still good to able to go all the way round. My preference is anti clockwise. If you are feeling lazy you can swing up to Loch leven's Larder for tea &amp; cakes and a good view over the loch. Watch out for swarms of flies occasionally in places, depends on the wind. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11049#post-155376 Fri, 30 May 2014 12:31:06 +0000 cb 155376@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The loop is complete.</p> <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-27624377">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-27624377</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.lochlevenheritagetrail.co.uk/">http://www.lochlevenheritagetrail.co.uk/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11049#post-123873 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 16:37:05 +0000 JohnS 123873@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The path is made up of gray fine gravel, it varies in width in places and takes you through woodland, along the lochside etc. The best way is to start at Kingsgate Park at Kinross and go anti clockwise. If you are included you can swing off up to Loch Leven's Larder for refreshments and a good outside seat with viwes across the Loch. The current path stops at RSPB Vane Farm and you'll have a 3 mile cycle on the road to get back to Kinross. it's thios last section that they are starting. Better with a hybrid or a mountain bike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11049#post-123826 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 09:53:34 +0000 crowriver 123826@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"At present ramblers, cyclists and bird watchers can get three quarters of the way round but then face a walk along a busy road, with no pavement, to return to their cars."</p> <p>Och, the poor dears.
