@Trixie - Aye. Photo taken here. I think the path will connect to Hunter's Hall park.

@Frenchy, as I've had repeated minor incidents with 2 particular vehicle drivers in the streets between there and Niddrie Mains Rd, it would certainly be an appealing alternative. On the very few occasions it won't be teeming with illegal motorbikes, that is. Although that barrier will certainly stop them!

ARobComp I should have introduced you to Mr fimm but I was having the usual brain failure of knowing exactly who you were but being able to remember neither your real name nor your pseudonym...
both of us had cycled to Balreno up the WoL from Gorgie and Mr fimm had been swim-coaching triathletes for an hour so we needed breakfast.Posted 5 years ago # -
Failed to spot any of the above while at Balerno Farmer's Market / Apple Day. Did spot a discounted copy of the Thomas Muir book Iwrats has been mentioning on the regular of late.

The Graham's Milk truck in front of me in the queue was leaking LOADS of milk out the corner of the door. I could have filled my cup before the gap in traffic opened up.
I tried to catch up with the driver but we went different directions at the roundabout. The inside of the truck must have been a milky disaster.

Suspect this isn't "an appropriate" place for such a spot, BUT
I was amused to spot a Tesco van delivering to the fancy new "Canal Point Student Accommodation".
Amazing!

Got passed by a very interesting looking bike this morning on NEPN. Blue with small tyres, a big rack on the front and two child seats one behind the other behind the pilot.
On loan from the bike station if the many leaflets attached to it were to be believed.

Google have updated Street View for Heriot-Watt so I now appear looking quizzically at the passing vehicle just next to the new hotel.

I'm sure it wouldn't be beyond Google to combine the location data it probably secretly retains and combine it with satellite/Googlecar imagery timestampings and then email people when it thinks they might be in a Google Earth or Street View image. It could even use photos of each phone's suspected owner's face to corroborate.

I'm working far further away from the boundary road than I used to, but I think that it was being used as access for building works for a period of time, hence the muddiness.
Posted 5 years ago # -
The north-western section of Boundary Road North remained unsurfaced for a long time because it was only ever used as a regular access for a mobile crane, whose prodigious lifting capacity was used in connection with the large pipe bending apparatus third on the left as you go up Fourth Gait. Is it still there? I have a feeling that it was removed years ago.

@Arellcat mobile cranes still appear now and again (maybe less frequently of late?), but I've no idea what they get up to and I was not aware of any pipe bending apparatus.

Due to not having slept well lately, and the dark and grey morning, I was feeling somewhat down as I set off to work today. Luckily, gembo spotted me from the far end of Lower Gilmore Place and started preparing very theatrically for a high five, which we achieved successfully in passing. I then exchanged a smile with formerly Lilac Helmet Lady as we passed one another on Boroughmuir Plaza. Thanks both!
