Unfortunately it really hacked me off, after having tried to squeeze in as much as possible, which roughened the landing of subsequent feedback. Fortunately, it will not prevent me doing more, nor repeating it next year. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18753&page=2#post-280792 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 21:28:12 +0000 Klaxon 280792@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@wingpig I am sorry if my first post came over frosty</p> <p>It was meant entirely jovially and without bad will </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18753&page=2#post-280777 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 15:36:28 +0000 gembo 280777@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Went to barbers down WoL path and towpath, several chalkings </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18753&page=2#post-280767 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 12:27:59 +0000 I were right about that saddle 280767@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well, there are four chalkings at KB but it's beyond the pale so that'll do. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18753&page=2#post-280760 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 10:29:06 +0000 unhurt 280760@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cheers fellow vandals.

But I'll try to pick up more hand chalks tomorrow too, so one way or another we should be good to carry out some socially beneficial graffiti. (Though as @Klaxon notes the hand chalks are less efficient.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18753&page=2#post-280692 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 18:54:11 +0000 Klaxon 280692@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Would advise spray chalk</p> <p>My chalk sticks are being shredded quickly by rough surfaces and the marking doesn’t get into the dips </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18753&page=2#post-280687 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 18:27:48 +0000 Frenchy 280687@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm in for tomorrow.

It's also easier to keep an eye out for people approaching from either side when writing them. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18753#post-280644 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 13:38:46 +0000 Klaxon 280644@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I am also warming to the idea of sideways marking</p> <p>Chalkings are kinda hard to read when moving! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18753#post-280638 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 12:51:31 +0000 Klaxon 280638@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Have done following<br /> <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/55%C2%B058'31.0%22N+3%C2%B010'42.2%22W/@55.9752832,-3.1871732,2435m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d55.9752842!4d-3.1783969">1</a><br /> <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/55%C2%B057'58.7%22N+3%C2%B011'21.0%22W/@55.9663072,-3.1979452,2436m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d55.9663083!4d-3.189169">2</a><br /> <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/55%C2%B057'41.6%22N+3%C2%B010'49.0%22W/@55.961475,-3.1803489,76m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d55.9615409!4d-3.180288">3</a><br /> <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/55%C2%B057'45.8%22N+3%C2%B010'44.7%22W/@55.9627102,-3.1878592,2436m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m15!1m8!3m7!1s0x0:0x0!2zNTXCsDU3JzQxLjYiTiAzwrAxMCc0OS4wIlc!3b1!7e2!8m2!3d55.9615409!4d-3.180288!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d55.9627109!4d-3.1790827">4</a><br /> <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/55%C2%B057'48.5%22N+3%C2%B010'40.6%22W/@55.9634582,-3.1867142,2436m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d55.9634593!4d-3.1779379">5</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18753#post-280610 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 10:29:43 +0000 wingpig 280610@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Existing chalked locations are now in their own layer in a Googlemap.</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/26huHiC"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/902/41537142402_2124439dc9.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18753#post-280583 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 08:24:55 +0000 ARobComp 280583@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The arrangements have been made.
