The ice was still in the grooves of the setts in the afternoon put you had to be looking for it. Could have been an otter coming out or was from a barge, hopefully not a cyclist falling in </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21660#post-377381 Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:48:31 +0000 chrisfl 377381@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That frozen spash on Tuesday, was the on slippy bit, althoug quite a big spash, something had come out of the water there.</p> <p>I think I went over just after Gembo as I did a late spot as we passed. </p> <p>My collegue who was 30 minutes later than me didn't notice it! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21660#post-377379 Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:01:48 +0000 gembo 377379@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@srd the wol path is not gritted but as there is no rain, the frost is mainly not slippy. Same as towpath. Only once this week have I lost traction. On the acqueduct when i was traversing a splash which had frozen. You should be fine going slow. And easy, </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21660#post-377378 Thu, 21 Nov 2024 20:19:44 +0000 SRD 377378@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>unexpectedly may have to cycle that way tomorrow with some teenagers.</p> <p>meadows et al well gritted - so hoping Innocent is too? </p>
