Brown Street, looking onto Salisbury Crags
Feel the burn, 20milers! (Half way up Holyrood Park drive - luckily this is as far as we went up this particular hill)
After our first encounter with Mud, on the Brunstane Burn path
Some more lucky escapees from the Mud.
Pausing on the Promenade in Musselburgh.
The beach at Musselburgh.
Look how far we've already come!
The Levenhall ash marshes - spoil from Cockenzie power station just along the road is dumped here and then reclaimed for wildlife. There were people windsurfing in the lagoons.
Recovering after cycling over quite a bit of grass. (At least it's not muddy)
Pretty trees in the Levenhall lagoons.
My new bike :) - chunkier tyres than my old bike so I was slower than before. But it's more shiny!
Shiny apart from the mud, of course.
Route 75 closed near Prestongrange. We went along the path by the road instead.
Prestongrange industrial museum - we stopped for a 10 minute break to have a quick look around.
In the shed on the skyline is Scotland's Only Remaining Beam Engine (not functioning)
Crossing the tracks at Prestongrange.
The ceiling of the Gothenburg Pub - modern of course. The faces are apparently those of locals.
A coo!
We think that this bull is not an official Cow.
Prestonpans has about 27 of these on random walls throughout the town. There is a leaflet and everything...
Where we had lunch - the Gothenburg pub.
From The Top of the hill above Prestonpans. I didn't have the energy to walk over the road to take a picture without the fence in the way.
Site of the Battle of Pinkie, near Musselburgh.
The South East end of the Innocent Tunnel. "Would you rather go the hard way or the harder way?" (slow slope up through tunnel with wind against you, or short sharp hill outside where it's quicker (for me) to push than to pedal). Our non-official ending point (a few of us went back to the start point just to "finish the route" but most went their own way before then).
