Blackness Castle

Sunday's ride is to Blackness Castle for a picnic lunch. Please meet at 9.50 am on the west lane of the cycle path on Roseburn Bridge to avoid blocking the path for other users. We will depart at 10 am and head to Cramond, Dalmeny, Hopeton and Blackness via the coastal path. After lunch, (surprise, suprise) we have a wee climb to Philipston and up towards Ecclesmachan. Then a lovely descent via Faucheldean to Kirkliston. The ride finishes at Miller and Carter at Cramond. 29 miles total. https://www.strava.com/routes/2734535439558474060
