Anth spotted this one, it's frogless (doesn't have a recess in the surface) so probably dates from the first half of the 19th century. It's in not bad nick considering. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2346#post-24981 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 19:53:14 +0000 kaputnik 24981@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>With that skullcap (I couldn't find my hipster-cool Raleigh knitted cap this morning) I look like I have a Lego head on! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2346#post-24980 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 19:38:11 +0000 recombodna 24980@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>aha also spotted chdot on the bingham path this morning...... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2346#post-24978 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 19:32:57 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 24978@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Pics...</p> <p>Setting off near the Musselburgh Ash Lagoons<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/5473862387/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5013/5473862387_c857b3f443.jpg"></a></p> <p>Striking Out<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/5473863429/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5180/5473863429_b9a7931df9.jpg"></a></p> <p>Coastal Pans<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/5473864287/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5297/5473864287_3072af5042.jpg"></a></p> <p>Check Oot the Troos!<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/5473865351/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5293/5473865351_e5470f6a4a.jpg"></a></p> <p>Too Skinny Tyres!<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/5473866157/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5215/5473866157_61b24890f6.jpg"></a></p> <p>Brick Photographing<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/5473867219/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5299/5473867219_9a4e1754f5.jpg"></a></p> <p>The Intrepid Three<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/5474465608/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5014/5474465608_d52b78381f.jpg"></a></p> <p>The Intrepid Bikes<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/5473869067/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5220/5473869067_23023f776c.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2346#post-24977 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 19:29:09 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 24977@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Got a few photos uploading just now - including a first ever sighting for me for the wildlife thread. :)</p> <p>Thanks for the ride today guys, really quite interesting and utterly relaxing - nice to find some new routes, AND eat in two new places. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2346#post-24974 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 18:56:03 +0000 chdot 24974@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>HMMM</p> <p>I see <a href="http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=977925">part one</a> didn't record the route.

I will have a look at my diary. Could do with finding a destination. At the risk of sounding like a lonely hearts column, I'm not into bird-watching but do like cafe stops, countryside. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2346#post-24961 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 16:39:11 +0000 LaidBack 24961@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cyclingmollie - you can do tour round your area with me and anyone who missed out.

I'd have loved to have gone but today was a work day in town. CCE visits the Honest Toun and I'm in Edinburgh.</p> <p>chdot et al. I see you encountered the "oh great they've fixed up the path, oh no they haven't" Brunstane Burn path work in progress. Hope you liked the Goth. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2346#post-24955 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 15:25:14 +0000 cb 24955@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I looked at the 8th photo on the everytrail link and thought there was some close up brick viewing action going on at first. Bit disapointed to see it was a bird hide. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2346#post-24951 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 15:18:15 +0000 recombodna 24951@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Funny. I think must've seen Anth this morning at about 10:30am loitering on the bridge at the big W then a short while later I must've passed Kaputnik ( black rimmed glasses and race face) heading to meet him on the bingham cycle path as I was heading back into town having dropped my van off at the garage in joppa. Looks like you had a good day for it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2346#post-24949 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 15:07:43 +0000 LaidBack 24949@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I wanted to do Goth. Bet you it was good. </p> <p>Thought Cyclingmollie was with you? Couldn't see in pics. Anth's in a few shots. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2346#post-24944 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 14:32:06 +0000 chdot 24944@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/chdot" rel="nofollow">http://www.twitter.com/chdot</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=977925" rel="nofollow">http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=977925</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2346#post-24919 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 11:38:07 +0000 chdot 24919@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Arrived ahead of time. </p> <p>Third in line. </p> <p>Waiting. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2346#post-24917 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 11:04:07 +0000 chdot 24917@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just setting off.
