Today was a huge privilege to meet such incredible women from across the South West Neighbourhood who took up the opportunity to come along to a social paddle through our free monthly session.

One lady explained that the last time she was canoeing was over 60 years ago at Benmore Outdoor Centre, proof that age is just a number!

What counts is what we do with our time, the experiences we create, and how we can come together to build a better community for all.

A big shout-out to Gillian from Health Agency who brought the group together.

We’ll see you all next month

🔥 An Exciting Opportunity at Bridge 8 Hub for 2027/2028! 🔥

As we look ahead to our own plans for 2027/2028, we’re excited to offer an incredible opportunity for someone passionate about sauna, cold plunge, health and wellbeing.

Could you see yourself starting your own sauna & cold plunge business full time or part time.

We’re looking for an

What’s included: • Fully established sauna and cold plunge set-up
• Ready-to-use site at Bridge 8 Hub
• Opportunity to develop and grow your own business
• Potential to take the business mobile and offer sauna experiences at events, locations and private bookings
• A fantastic opportunity to build your own brand within the growing health & wellbeing sector

In just under three weeks, we’ll be stepping into a new chapter…

A chapter written on two wheels, across Denmark and Sweden, with our trusty Bromptons carrying us into the unknown adventures. 🇩🇰🇸🇪

But this isn’t simply a bikepacking trip.
It’s about making space to live differently to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with the things that make us feel truly alive.

Wild swims and sauna sessions that warm the body and reset the mind.

Conversations with like-minded people and strangers who become friends.

New dining experiences, discovering the flavours and stories of the places we pass through.

Time in nature, away from the noise and routines of everyday life.

No rushing just active travel, human-powered adventure and the freedom of discovering what lies around the next corner, one pedal stroke, one road, one beautiful detour at a time.

The Brompton might be small, but the adventure ahead is anything but.

We’re taking time out not to escape life, but to experience more of it.

Denmark and Sweden… here we come. 🇩🇰🇸🇪

The Brompton Social Bike Ride brought together an incredible group of people from across the city for a fantastic day on two wheels.

We rode along the Union Canal, followed the Water of Leith and made our way out to Balerno, where we stopped at Nat'a Napoli to experience some truly amazing food. The team behind this wonderful family restaurant give nothing but 100%, and it was brilliant to see first-hand the passion, skill and dedication that goes into producing what we think is the best pizza in Scotland.

A wonderful day filled with great people, great riding and incredible food. Keep your eyes peeled for the next Brompton Social Ride — we’ll see you there! 🚲🍕

A big thank you to Martin for his help and assistance throughout, it was greatly appreciated!

One less thing to worry about!

Brompton Adventure Training 🚲🇩🇰🇸🇪

The East Lothian BBEL crew who will be joining us in Denmark and Sweden for our Brompton bike-packing adventure came together today to for some more miles and what a brilliant day it was!

We headed along the towpath of the Union Canal, followed the Water of Leith to Balerno, and enjoyed a wonderful visit to Nat'a Napoli before continuing on to the West Lothian National Cycle Route 75 and eventually making our way back to Bridge 8 Hub.

A fantastic group of people, plenty of miles in the legs, lots of laughs, and great company throughout.

It’s an absolute pleasure to cycle alongside such a lovely bunch, and today was another great step towards our Denmark and Sweden adventure.

Bring on the next adventure! 🇩🇰🇸🇪

Dear Facebook Family ❤️

Support Request 🚲🇩🇰

We’re currently looking to borrow a small box trailer from around mid-September until the end of September to help us transport a fleet of Bromptons to Denmark.

If anyone has a suitable trailer that we could borrow, or knows someone who might be able to help, we’d be incredibly grateful.

Please drop me a message if you can help or have any suggestions. 🙏

Thank you so much!
