A gift from CHDot. 6th edition with the cover photo by CHDot. Certain high flats gone from the route i appear to have taken and certain parkland now covered in housing. I definitely cycled on Lang Loan for the first time - it was great as traffic free. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20133#post-324266 Tue, 10 Mar 2020 21:12:18 +0000 Arellcat 324266@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1230&amp;page=49#post-296321">Can confirm</a>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20133#post-324265 Tue, 10 Mar 2020 21:07:36 +0000 amir 324265@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It is pretty common round there, I hear. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20133#post-324264 Tue, 10 Mar 2020 20:56:11 +0000 Frenchy 324264@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You went straight on at the Frogston Road junction instead of turning left? Then came along Lang Loan?</p> <p>EDIT: Nope, see now that you didn't. I'm afraid to say that if you didn't cross Captain's Road during that journey then you probably did get abducted by aliens. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20133#post-324260 Tue, 10 Mar 2020 20:38:47 +0000 gembo 324260@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was on mission to the Faith Mission early am today. BRAID HILLS fantastic. Knew was road Block at Liberton Nursery. Was just going to push round but footerie so I headed up libertin Gardens ? and cut through St Katharines Brae and jinked through drop off at Gracemount Primary.</p> <p>At this point I appear to have been abducted by aliens. As instead of going down Ellen’s Glen I found myself in south house Burdiehouse without as far as i can recall crossing Captains Road.</p> <p>So much to my surprise I appeared to be heading to the bypass. I then found a pretty big road with no traffic on it that took me back towards Gilmerton and followed signs down to newtoft street and my destination. (Lang Loan)</p> <p>I truly cannot fathom what I did </p>
