R :-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9593#post-102447 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 12:30:42 +0000 Radgeworks 102447@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I usually head up the road adjacent to the path and get to and from the NECW via the lefthand path between the hooses, thats probably why ive never seen it,if its prior to there. I will have a guid scout roond there and report back.. will make the early finish the day a bit mair interesting before i get back tae base.</p> <p>R </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9593#post-102446 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 12:14:20 +0000 Uberuce 102446@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's been there since late 2011. I know this from my first attempt to find the NEPN. My internal monologue went:</p> <p><em>This is a bit scuzzy. Muttergrumble, typical Edinburgh infrastructure. And I can't even see the path. Must be out of sight by those bushes...</p> <p>Nah, this is just wasteland, this can't actually be it. I'll just push on a little bit to see if the path is even visible from here...</p> <p>Hang on, is that a tent? And another one? And great big piles of jakey juice bottles that have plainly taken ages to build up, which would imply this is someone's territory?</p> <p>Let's just imagine there's a Cyclist Dismount sign, only this time obey it, and then tiptoe out of here...</p> <p></em> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9593#post-102441 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 11:29:09 +0000 Radgeworks 102441@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As a Roseburn resident, ahl make a recce of the mystery tent, no been doon the NECW recently, so a guid excuse...</p> <p>There are quite a few homeless types who sleep rough round ma bit, never any bother though.</p> <p>R </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9593#post-102437 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 11:12:33 +0000 kaputnik 102437@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There was a long time camper resident in the old goods yard at Murrayfield Station, left quite a mess behind that was evident when chdot and I went exploring there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9593#post-102428 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 10:35:40 +0000 stiltskin 102428@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <br /> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9593#post-102427 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 10:35:39 +0000 stiltskin 102427@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That has been thee for quite some time.

A couple of weeks ago there was a guy sleeping in a curved green/camo tent in the no mans land round the back of our flat in Bellevue. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9593#post-102421 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 10:13:39 +0000 Bruce 102421@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Has anyone else spotted the tent on Roseburn, as you head North it is located on the left just after the bridge that crosses above Tesco. </p> <p>It seems that whoever is there is making an attempt to shield it from view. </p>
