I wonder, was the "through the fields" part the sticking point, or the rest of it? Since WLC seem to have put the northern part of the region on a bit of a backburner in their latest AT plan in terms of next-to-road routes, a couple of gravel routes through the fields of this quality would at least connect up Broxburn/Uphall and Winchburgh &amp; Linlithgow without getting stuck on the towpath or chancing the few roads.</p> <p>“ </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21947#post-384575 Wed, 03 Jun 2026 15:29:48 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 384575@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>'It does make you wonder why a B-road with 4 numbers is considered dangerous?
