Except that I was vaguely aware that Palmerston Place was now closed and Manor Place was open. After work yesterday I wanted to have a look at the expansion of Haymarket station, and didn't want to use Princes St to get there. Look at the <a href="http://bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=486060">stupid jiggery pokery</a> I ended up doing! And between Eglinton Crescent and Rosebery Crescent, plus the no right turn out of Grosvenor Crescent, I had to walk my bike because I couldn't work out how else to get from A to B.</p> <p>The geographical ridge from Donaldson's towards George St makes it bloody hard work on a bike when you're being continually shunted around diversions.</p> <p>Edit: Also be aware that the tram rails are now in place at Atholl Place, but are mostly crossable at a sensible angle. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9135#post-94930 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:18:22 +0000 crowriver 94930@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aye, just been out and it's a wee bit wet and blustery, but nothing we haven't seen before. Maybe worse elsewhere? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9135#post-94924 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 11:35:04 +0000 cb 94924@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My neighbour rang our bell this morning to tell me that our car was sitting on the driveway with all the windows fully open!</p> <p>Stupid car. Fortunately it hadn't been raining <em>too</em> much. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9135#post-94918 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 11:06:42 +0000 Baldcyclist 94918@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was a bit wet, and a bit blowy on the way in, but nothing too major. The main annoyance was having to dismount and walk through Haymarket in cleats to get to Torphichen St.</p> <p>I've no idea where the diversions go now, I somehow ended up at Frasers the other day, and having to dismount and walk over to Lothian Rd. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9135#post-94896 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 06:53:15 +0000 Smudge 94896@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Steady rain in Falkirk this morning, but no gales so far (touches wood) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9135#post-94891 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:39:46 +0000 crowriver 94891@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The storm is TOMORROW, people!
