I'd checked over the offending surface (though it was too dark to see much) to see if it had been a patch of frost or a piece of ironwork but there was nothing other than a general slidiness, so I decided a bus was to blame. chdot on "Diesel spill - Top of the Mound (updated)" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2428#post-25828 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 11:35:23 +0000 chdot 25828@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ "should probably correct" Done Dave on "Diesel spill - Top of the Mound (updated)" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2428#post-25827 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 11:32:04 +0000 Dave 25827@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ OK. On further investigation it turns out to be *not* crossing Princes St, but on the left turn outside the bank (<a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&q=royal+mile&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=royal+mile&hnear=Edinburgh&cid=0,0,14624410839011169910&ll=55.94994,-3.192898&spn=0.014634,0.032315&z=15&layer=c&cbll=55.94994,-3.192898&panoid=sC4gHhbOy1RfFQUU5OWSRg&cbp=12,316.72,,0,5">here</a>). I apologise on behalf of SWMBO's extremely bad initial description. Who's your contact at CEC, Chris? We should probably correct them.

Diesel they thought. Not sure whether there's any specific way to report this (fill that hole?) but be careful folks.
