Midlothian Again - Revised Version

Been thinking and I've got another set of trails that need riding as a group.

Revised proposed route is somewhat shorter than the epic first planned with a great deal more trail riding. From Tesco's it will shadow the river South Esk up to the confluence with the Gore Water. Then up the Eskside path through the Arniston estate to Temple Bridge then back along the same route to where Gore meets Esk. From there we retrace our steps back toward Tesco's via a different route passing through Dalhousie Castle Hotel grounds and then near the end passing along more quite entertaining riverside and woodland paths to start point.

As usual, all blue grade with mud, probably lots of mud, tree roots, steps etc. There is a danger of Nettles so if nettle stings are not your thing then shorts are maybe not a great idea !

Bring a pack lunch, I reckon the old church grounds at Temple might be a good place for the lunch stop as its pretty and lies at the half way point.

Sign up if interested.
