Certainly used to be a wee fence hanging across the river maybe to deter sheep? Have been visiting this spot since 1987 because I am very old. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20055#post-321634 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 10:14:45 +0000 fimm 321634@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah, there. I'll have to pay more attention to the waterfalls next time I'm there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20055#post-321617 Tue, 28 Jan 2020 20:14:39 +0000 HankChief 321617@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If inspirational films about women (or just, you know, people) on adventures is your thing, then check out these</p> <p><a href="https://www.thebmc.co.uk/women-in-adventure-2020-entries" rel="nofollow">https://www.thebmc.co.uk/women-in-adventure-2020-entries</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20055#post-321615 Tue, 28 Jan 2020 19:01:03 +0000 ejstubbs 321615@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo: "Nice picnic spot". And an SSSI on account of its alkaline-loving flora, apparently. The falling water is the Logan Burn, which drains the valley between Hare Hill (resting place of the last remnants of Ju88 3E+HM) and the Kips. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20055#post-321604 Tue, 28 Jan 2020 14:39:08 +0000 gembo 321604@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>nice a snowy for them </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20055#post-321602 Tue, 28 Jan 2020 14:24:22 +0000 bill 321602@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I wonder if that happened? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20055#post-321524 Mon, 27 Jan 2020 13:07:06 +0000 gembo 321524@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@fimm when heading through green cleugh, en route to flotterstone on the right when the stream begins to interfere with the path there is a waterfall. OK it is not Niagra but it is a waterfall. Nice picnic spot </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20055#post-321521 Mon, 27 Jan 2020 12:47:15 +0000 ARobComp 321521@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They've put in bridges and stepping stones in all the rivery bits in Green Cleugh. You can still ford them if you wish. </p> <p>Maidens climb up from that side is quite heavily washed out after winter (as it is every year) and has some knobbly rocks. Imagine it'll be a slog for those on a hybrid type bikes, but is ok on a MTB. </p> <p>Ironically the water has washed away a lot of the horrible clay type hard pack that was put on a few years back that became a quagmire when wet, so actually some parts are improved. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20055#post-321513 Mon, 27 Jan 2020 11:03:16 +0000 fimm 321513@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Tricky section just after the waterfall</em>... what waterfall? In Green Cleugh? I've mountainbiked through there (and I am rubbish on a mountain bike) and the only bit I walked was the stream crossing. </p> <p>I agree that Maiden's Cleugh is a bit of a climb. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20055#post-321486 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 15:04:02 +0000 gembo 321486@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ejstubbs, trickier when the water is up - one route a bit submerged the other side. Little squishy </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20055#post-321485 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 14:26:39 +0000 ejstubbs 321485@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo: <em>Tricky section just after the waterfall unless new path made?</em></p> <p>Seemed OK for an MTB when I went that way (both directions) in June last year. Has it deteriorated since then? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20055#post-321482 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 11:11:49 +0000 gembo 321482@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Tricky section just after the waterfall unless new path made?

But it's this tuesday! So can I pass this on? It's for these Breeze bike rides.
