Unfortunately it really hacked me off, after having tried to squeeze in as much as possible, which roughened the landing of subsequent feedback.

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 19:54:11 +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 19:27:48 +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 14:38:46 +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 13:51:31 +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 11:29:43 +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 09:24:55 +0000 ARobComp 280583@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The arrangements have been made.
