Lovely peaceful farm tracks and woods included in the walk...

Looking at the GPX points, it looks like the route file could be improved by making a specific route point at the top of this path, and then route along New Row....

This slow way takes you a long an A road and crosses two slip roads with a larger A road which has no signals....

2) The route takes a left turn just as you enter Backburn Wood - I couldn't find this path using OS maps (it may have been earlier than I realised) and instead followed the well-marked path through the wood and then rejoined the route via the road at the end of the wood. This did not add any distance as I was walking parallel to the official route and was a pleasant alternative....

1) The track marked on the OS map in Penston field does not exist. When I walked it, it was a ploughed field, presumably there will be some sort of crop here later in the spring. Go South and then West along the field edge to get to Butterdean Wood....

to avoid spending more time on it I ll simply say that I cant recommend it because of the section down fa side hill and I d recommend that anyone who wants to walk from Musselburgh to tranent either goes via prestonpans or follows the minor road up fa side hill via west mains farm. interesting and quieter options at both ends are available on the local path network leaflets for Musselburgh and Tranent...

As the other review indicates the section down the old post road can be muddy as used by mountain bikes (although the path is metalled underneath) , and the route along the A199 is by an increasingly busy road with constant traffic between 8 and 8....

A practical route between Musselburgh and Tranent that is mainly flat and avoids main roads where possible....

I then looped back to get onto Bridge Street and the suggested route, but it would probably make more sense to enter Tranent via New Row instead....

The alternative route which would involve using the local path network over winton hill is longer and steeper however...
