    Used the canal for my commute home last night for the first time a good while. Didn't much fancy it in the dark.

    First the Good news - the section west of Ratho bridge that was very rutted and bumpy has been coated in a brand new layer of black tarmac.

    Bad news though is that along with several trees lying in the canal itself (guessing nobody if boating at the moment), there's a big one lying right across the path just to the west of the climbing centre steps. So be prepared for a bit of lifting and climbing if you're travelling that way.

    If it is the one I'm thinking off, I think British Waterways or the council might know about it already - someone has obviously started on it with a chainsaw but has not completed the job, presumably as the tree will fall into the canal when they finish it off.

    Mind you, it was a good few weeks ago that I passed it so it could be worth reminding the council or British Waterways about it.

    @LBP_Police:
    Details LBP:

    "The cycleway from Hardengreen btwn Old Eskbank Station & Glenesk Viaduct will be closed from 27/02 to 02/03, 9am to 7pm for tree felling"

    This is not the same place is it?

    Correct, it is not.

    British Waterways probably are aware but I have emailed them about it in any case.
