I dont know. was heavy rain. Sign behind Castlebrae saying Roslin --> would be nice assuming i am even referring to the right route wingpig on "Where did you get lost on QR61?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20783#post-356655 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 18:41:30 +0000 wingpig 356655@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ I got through Niddrie Marischal Road successfully once, albeit at walking pace and only after trying to go through the park and not taking what looked like far too overgrown a path for a bicycle. A few times I've come up against some shifting, indecisive Heras fencing at various points in the being-redeveloped bit where they've not bothered to maintain a pedestrian or cycle route.

It's the central-ish north-south blue line <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/55.9071/-3.1651&layers=C">here</a>. I think everyone who has ever tried to follow it has gotten lost at least once. The council are about to extend the signage to Portobello, and are reviewing the existing signs at the same time. So there's an opportunity to try and make it slightly easier to follow. So where did you get lost on QR61, and would a better placed sign have prevented it?
