Thank-you both. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15421#post-198425 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 21:10:16 +0000 SRD 198425@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The main thing I find confusing is that in some places there are multiple routes / NEPN options. But they all go the same place in the end.</p> <p>The alternate routes are mainly for walkers though and involve stairs, so sticking to the bike route should be obvious enough (one particularly tricky bit was closed when we were there over the summer anyhow, so you had to follow bike route) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15421#post-198424 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 21:10:16 +0000 chdot 198424@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This is probably the most straightforward way following quite a lot of the WoL. </p> <p><a href="http://m.cyclestreets.net/journey/#46070512/balanced" rel="nofollow">http://m.cyclestreets.net/journey/#46070512/balanced</a></p> <p>Probably signposted the whole way on this route. </p> <p><a href="http://Edinburgh.cyclestreets.net" rel="nofollow">http://Edinburgh.cyclestreets.net</a> has iOS and Android apps. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15421#post-198422 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 20:45:31 +0000 lorlane 198422@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Obvious question alert!</p> <p>I am planning on taking the WoL to Leith, joining near Murrayfield, and I just wondered how continuous/easy to follow it is? Does it deviate from the Water much? Is it well signposted? Would a map be needed and, if so, which would be best? Any cycling apps that would help?</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
