If you go down to the Himalyan Balsam today...

This image taken during the week, will enlarge a little, please don't bother if you are squeamish. The jobbies still pop up occasionally in the bittie between the sewage bridge and the A96 road bridge and River CC member Tommy is on the case and trying to get the authorities to act. Regular Gurnites will remember this set of pictures from almost two years ago.

Also in full flow have been the manhole covers on either side of the sewage bridge during the recent downpours. Just down from the bridge on the east side of the river there is a covering of sewage sludge (sometimes dry in between regular top-ups) where the path dips a little. Here's an example on Youtube of what happens, the video is from 2008 and since then fancy new manhole covers were put in that were meant to put a stop to it. You will notice how large the spruce trees have grown on the river side of the path and how lush the grass is opposite. Best walk right round it until someone bothers to clean it up.
