  After doing some digging around I found the `getDraftsByEntryId(entryId, locale)` method of the `craft.entryRevisions` service that might help.
  
  The following should return the first draft of an entry. Note: there is a second argument for 'locale', which defaults to current locale if none provided. Also not sure whether 'first' or 'last' would be considered the most recent draft.
  
  ```
  {% set drafts = craft.entryRevisions.getDraftsByEntryId(entry.id) %}
  {% if drafts|length %}
      {% set draft = drafts[0] %}
      {{ draft.title }}
      ...
  {% endif %}
  
  ```
  
  You will need to load the entry manually (i.e. through a custom route of some kind) as the draft's entry is likely to be 'disabled' (although not necessarily) and thus not load through the entry's default url. Something like '/mysection/edit/slug' perhaps (where 'slug' is a custom route token).
  
  ```
  {% set entry = craft.entries({
      section: 'mysection',
      slug: slug
      status: null
  }).first() %}
  
  ```
