Hi @
Flick of the Elbow and @
flake99please, I went on my first 'proper' bike ride on my new bike and it was great fun. We took your advice and went along the Waters of Leith to Balerno. It was pretty amazing and I had a great time. On the way there we tried to take a detour to Juniper Manour house but ended up at juniper Green by accident instead. I've been in Edinburgh for 5 years now and not seen that part of town at all. We decided to just ride back the way we came rather than loop round though as it was threatening to rain. Next time I do the route though I'll definitely make sure I see the reservoirs.
I was not expecting the 'Colinton Tunnel Mural Project' (picture included). Also it was great crossing the aqueduct that carried the canal over the waters of Leith (It felt a bit like an MC Escher painting) . An amazing ride. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
In a fortnight we're planning on heading to Cramond (given the rules on lockdown don't change 😬)
