Thanks for bringing this up. I actually crossed the park by this route
in the dark last night without knowing the extent of the damage, and
like yourself, I came to a grinding halt in sand. To be fair, there was
a warning sign about flood damage in the park a week or so ago.
Obviously, that's of fairly limited use at night. I think it has gone
now anyway?
I'll pass this concern over to the cycling officer. Has anyone else had
a similar experience?
