SQ would be about 10 miles to Lothian Road. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19811#post-313332 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 08:33:23 +0000 Frenchy 313332@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>(my version of a decent commute distance is 8/9 miles)</em></p> <p>Any preference for how hilly it should be, or how busy the route is?</p> <p>Moving a few towns west of Dalkeith in Midlothian (to Loanhead or Roslin) would mean a flatter commute, with the first part of your commute is on a cycle path rather than one of the main roads into the city.</p> <p>Further north (to Musselburgh, say) also gives the option of a much flatter and quieter commute on the Innocent railway path.</p> <p>That's not to say that commuting to Dalkeith or Eskbank is horrible, but it might be worth bearing in mind.</p> <p>Happy to describe possible commutes in more detail. Not knowledgeable at all of the housing options, though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19811#post-313331 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 08:17:50 +0000 tiermat 313331@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looking for a long term flat share/studio appt, preferably in a decent commute distance of Port Hamilton (my version of a decent commute distance is 8/9 miles) as I am due to star a new job once the pre-employment checks are complete (2/3 weeks).</p> <p>Would only need it Monday-Wednesday (though occasional full weeks would be appreciated for the family coming up to visit).</p> <p>Budget, as low as poss, but probably £600pcm, inc bills. </p>
