The Innertube Map Postcode Challenge

Join us on Sunday 28 April for a treasure hunt on wheels (walkers and runners also welcome!) on the North Edinburgh city cycleways. This is a free, fun, family event to get you exploring the off-road path network.

A chance to get off-road cycling (or walking or running) and explore the green spaces you didn't know existed. Just grab a route card and check off the stands along the way, then – if you get them all – you can enter the prize draw.

Turn up on your bike or on foot, get your route card and all you have to do is to check in at all ten stands dotted around the route if you're cycling, or five if you're on foot. Gather stamps at all the stands, then finish off at Five Ways Junction for the chance to enter the prize draw.

Everyone welcome – come by yourself, as a team or a family.

Download a route card or find out more at the Edinburgh & Lothians Greenspace Trust website
