Only a few slippy patches. No real ice. But next time we might not be so lucky. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11676#post-133589 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 13:25:47 +0000 wishicouldgofaster 133589@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was on the Blackhall path before 4pm yesterday and it was very icy apart from at the Silverknowes and Craigleith exits. If that was gritted, then they didn't do a very good job. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11676#post-133558 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 11:42:12 +0000 DaveC 133558@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've made this for everything related to winter conditions in Edinburgh (or further afield).</p> <p>Rode in along from Silverknowes along Blackhall path to Craigleith and then back up to the Red Bridge and the NEPN to 5 ways junction and in on the goldenacre path to Broughton.</p> <p>I found most access paths/steps gritted by some machine (circular grit shapes on the main path) but not grit on the actual paths. The blackhall path was icy and not gritted as wasn't the NEPN (parallel to Ferry road), and Goldenacre path. Disappointing.</p> <p>Initially I thought due to ice on the Blackhall path, it had been washed off by any rain overnight but masses of grit on the access ramps shoed this to be wrong. </p>
