CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
I think it's 'officially' known as Covenanters' Wood.
It's the one with the almost unknown, and frequently extremely muddy, route towards the Pentlands - via the controversial Polo Field.
It would be good if this 'history' helped to get access (and paths) improved.

“There was a very specialised kind of mud there. We called it ‘Dreghorn Sludge’.

Developers Miller Homes and Taylor Wimpey – who have bought the land – will carry out the work under planning arrangements for a nearby part of the Dreghorn Barracks site, known as the Polo Fields, which has been sold for housing.
Presume that means they have bought Covananters Wood.
Perhaps the sludgy path that is a perfect way to the base of The Pentlands (following the Braid Burn) will be improved.
Is that path through the Dreghorn Woods ( one of Edinburgh's many unknown gems) a 'core path' does anyone know? ie designated as such by the council, It should be!
No.
I did try to get it included.
