We shall investigate it. We remember when it was a quiet path all the way to pucklechurch.

...@Matt -added location tags to all the postings. <br /><br />@Siriuz7dk -good point about lighting, We've raised it with the MoD too. Their infra cameras don't care, but some people are scared to walk the rugby grounds. Check out the St Werburgh's path to see subtle solar lighting that at least shows you where to go, and lets you spot pedestrians by the way they block lights. Then try the railway path with proper lights. And signs painted on the ground.People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407993305053034934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194055897691199164.post-14592853184861278702011-02-25T07:20:30.384+00:002011-02-25T07:20:30.384+00:00I use the Ring Road cycle path between Warmley and...I use the Ring Road cycle path between Warmley and Longwell Green to go to work, and find that the signposts there are quite good when you get thrown out on a road (with no traffic apart from those that lives there) but the lighting is non-existing or only every second light, which creates dangerous situations more than once.<br /><br />It is not very comforting to go downhill towards a T-junction (on the segregated path) with a light pole visible and not turned on.<br /><br />Rasmus JensenSirius7dkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688465574306782024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194055897691199164.post-21587982775010684142011-02-24T22:47:44.498+00:002011-02-24T22:47:44.498+00:00A newly 'created' cycle route has been put...A newly 'created' cycle route has been put in to join the A4174 segregated cycle late to the Bristol/Bath cycle path via Emersons Green and Mangotsfield and across Rodway common, it neglects to tell you on the signposts that you'd better bring a trail bike and good suspension. Most of this route is reclaimed footpath, now turned into a shared use facility, but some of this route crosses unsurfaced land, and in parts is a surface not suitable for a road bike for example, and you might have to walk through a hedge to join the cycle path when you get there. It's probably easier to just stay on the A4174 cycle path and join the Bristol-Bath cycle path at Mangotsfield station.Das_Mikeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115019497777676391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194055897691199164.post-59442723789297694572011-02-24T21:45:25.345+00:002011-02-24T21:45:25.345+00:00C'mon, get your photos geotagged... where'...C'mon, get your photos geotagged... where's this?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04236324797918643122noreply@blogger.com
