March ride to Craigies' Farm

We've got our March run coming up on Saturday (8th), when Alan will be leading us to Craigie's Farm. This is somewhere we have visited several times before, so this time, just to add some variety, Alan has devised an interesting new route, taking in the Cramond waterfront and the River Almond walkway.

That said, we won't be able to avoid the steep climb up to the farm. But as this will come just before lunch, we will at least have time to get our breath back. There will be a couple of other moderate hills during the morning, as well as  about half a mile on a rough path that might be muddy. Apart from that, I don't foresee any difficulties. The total distance will be close to the statutory twenty miles.

Lunch stop

Craigie's Farm has a spacious cafe with a varied menu. There are also outside tables for those who prefer to bring a picnic (as well some seating that is under cover in case of rain).

Logistics

We'll meet at our usual spot at the north end of Middle Meadow Walk in time for a 10:30 departure. We'll aim to finish the ride at or near the Meadows around the middle of the afternoon.

Like all our rides, this one is free, with no advance booking. There is no need let anyone know if you plan to join us.

I hope to see you on Saturday, or, failing that, on a future ride.
