Innocent Railway

Brambles

The Innocent Railway is one of my favourite cycle paths. It's beginning is a bit hidden in the Parkside block of modern flats. You need to turn left just before the entrance to Holyrood Park, and then loop round to the beginning of the tunnel. The tunnel is long, dark and damp, but fun because it slopes downhill. You can pretty easily freewheel along most of the first stretch of the path.

It leads to the East Coast. On Saturday I used it to get to Portobello Beach which was a bit cold and windy. 

But it is very exciting the brambles are almost in season. In fact on my way back I discovered some which were ready, lovely and juicy and yum.
