At that rate, it'll take until 2015 to clear the paths (and I don't mean a quarter past eight in the evening...). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3034#post-32420 Mon, 30 May 2011 11:39:51 +0000 Min 32420@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is now another gigantic path blocker on the Roseburn.

But the ones which fell into the Esk are still there. If you commute by canoe you're going to have to get out and carry.
