You could argue that it's meant to be a tempting target, but then it just looks so wrong that I'd expect the greenest pilot to smell a rat.<br /> Curious.. though a quick bit of googling suggests that the experts are agreed, I guess they just did things differently back then! :-o </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11951#post-138200 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 19:53:37 +0000 kaputnik 138200@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>combine with exploration of the decoy site at Hilltown? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11951#post-138188 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 17:44:59 +0000 14Westfield 138188@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah id like to give this a go. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11951#post-138174 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 15:56:59 +0000 DaveC 138174@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>:D </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11951#post-138157 Fri, 27 Dec 2013 12:03:39 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 138157@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Following the success of the Glenkinchie Ride in 2013, the Archerfield Brewery does free tours, and I thought it might make a nice day out with a meandering route out and back, as spring starts to make itself known (hopefully).</p> <p>Also has covered bike parking, and a nice looking cafe. </p>
