Walk No. 159: Cramond Brig to South Queensferry via Dalmeny Estate
Date: Wednesday 25 July 2012
Distance: 5 miles approx.
Start: Cramond Brig Hotel
Finish: Hawes Inn, South Queensferry
On a beautiful
bright and sunny day, 30 Strollers walked from Cramond Brig through the Dalmeny
estate to South Queensferry.
The sky was
blue, the views across the Forth were stunning and the deer were bounding
around, all of which helped us to forget the rather muddy patches at some places
along the way. Packed lunches were consumed sitting by the shoreline
in front of Dalmeny House after which it was onwards to South Queensferry and
"the bridges" where Mr Wightman relived his recent abseil down the Railway
Bridge.
After more
chat everyone went their separate ways, some to partake of further refreshments,
others to the No 43 bus stop, while Mr & Mrs Sharp decided to walk all the
way back again, albeit by the more direct route.
All in all, a
very good walk.
Many thanks to Drew for organising this walk.
