Despite distinctly changeable weather ‘many hundreds’ of local cyclists and walkers of all ages and abilities took part in the annual Postcode Challenge on Sunday, embracing the opportunity to explore some of Edinburgh’s 75km of off-road paths and cycleways and pick up some prizes too!
Building on the success of the Postcode Challenge, Edinburgh and Lothians Greeenspace Trust (ELGT) now plans to deliver a programme of activities along the route, designed to raise awareness of this fantastic resource and to help improve the network for all users, including walkers and cyclists, as well as the local wildlife.
Activities will include conservation opportunities, environmental education, and guided walks to explore the local habitats and biodiversity along the routes.
