Corstorphine Hill

I'd mapped out a route which was just under 10K from Leith to the top of Corstorphine Hill  Along the way I deviated to join the route for the Seven Hills race and so shortened my original route.  I was pleasantly surprised to find the ascent of Corsorphine Hill easier than anticipated but still tough.  A couple of minutes rest at Corstorphine Tower then deviated again by heading down to Corstorphine Road rather than retracing my inward route. That was enjoyable. Nice narrow trail with some rocky bits to leap!  Rejoined my inward route at Belford Bridge.  Last few kilometres were a slog but happy to know I can do the distance.
