News for June 2012 News for June 2012 Message from Alan Bracey, 1st June: Hello Bill/Pete. Afraid I'm off the bike again. My own stupid fault. While away in Cornwall, I dislocated my left hip again by bending and twisting like I had been told not to. Finished up in Truro hospital where they put it back in again. So its back to square one, no riding for 2 months, no driving for six weeks and countless b***kings from Jen when I try to do too much. I will keep in touch however and look forward to driving to some lunch stops.I may sound cheerful about the whole thing, but due to my own stupidity, I feel quite low at the moment. Alan Thursday 7th June 2012 - report from Bill Balchin: After several days of celebrations for the Queen's diamond jubilee it was our turn. Although Will.i.am did not show up we had the same poor weather to dampen a couple of dozen at the Castle Green bandstand for the start. John was expecting a photographer from the (Evening) Post and sure enough, just as we were about to leave he arrived to grab a few shots. I was pleased that he managed to arrange the group as I dashed out and grabbed one of my own, well it will save a few bob not buying a paper. One person not at the start was Pete Campbell who was being interviewed live on the John Darvall show on radio Bristol. John started off by asking if Pete liked being called an old time cyclist. Pete replied that he was not too fussed about that and went on to explain that we don't ride penny farthings but enjoy the fitness and social aspects of cycling. You can catch the three minute interview online at the "Listen Again" section of radio Bristol on bbc.co.uk/bristol until 13th June - make sure you select the right date - move the time slider to 1:53:40 if you don't want the whole show. Of course we were unaware of all this as we made our way past Gardner Haskins and onto the railway path in steadily increasing rain. Dawn joined the group at Mangotsfield and although it was nice chatting as we rode, I think most were glad to reach the Dolphin and get out of the rain. The buffet featured a mixture of cold meats, salad and nibbles as well as hot chicken portions and chips. Just as we were about to tuck in a sole, bedraggled cyclist arrived - it was Pete, fresh from his radio debut, making the journey alone, by bike, in the rain. It was good to see Mary Slocombe there, and Mary thanked all those who attended Cyrils funeral last week. Then although John had promised no speeches he could not really let the day end without a few words, confirming that the BTOTC has been going for at least thirty years, unlike the time he organised the rugby club twenty fifth anniversary in their twenty fourth year. So now John will be finishing with the admin side of the group as Pete and Malcolm take on the responsibility. And thank you John for a terrific job. No time for sentiment on the way home though - most people just wanted to get home as quick as possible and warm up in the dry. Photos, from top left: Listen up. A photographer is coming from the Post - oh, here he is; By the time we got to Bitton the rain was pretty steady; After his radio debut Pete hopped on his bike and rode alone to the Dolphin; the new management team of Pete (left) and Malcolm have now assumed control from John (centre); The buffet featured both hot and cold items. Lara and Mike rode there on a tandem; Tuesday 12th June 2012 - report from Bill Balchin: The third Tuesday ride of 2012 brought six riders to the Forest of Dean for Dave Woodward's three churches expedition - this year in the reverse direction. After about thirty hours of continuous rain that had been falling until the early hours of Tuesday morning the roads were damp but not too bad although the term "leaden skies" was made for today. The calendar said June but it felt like March as we rode through the forest and onto our first tea stop in Ross on Wye. Going north out of Ross we followed a fantastic little lane along the banks of the Wye through the Perrystone Estate. It was worth the trip just to ride this section. Then we called in at Brockhampton to inspect our first church - All Saints. Featuring a stone tower, wooden tower and thatched roof this is a little marvel. In fact it was so highly regarded in Japan that they built a replica - on the twenty first floor of a tower block in Osaka. On through Much Marcle and another place of worship (two if you count the Westons cider factory). St Batholemews has a yew tree 1500 years old with a seat inside it in outside the front door. Onto Ledbury for lunch at the excellent Prince of Wales with their home made pies and Wye Valley ales. A blow-out meal can sap your motivation for climbing the many ups and downs in the Hereford/Gloucestershire area but with my cycle trip to the Alpes coming soon I was figuring each climb as so many hairpins on the climb of Alpe d'Huez. I think I will make it but without troubling the record books. Our third and final church was on the way to our last tea stop at Newent, but if you want the details you will have to join this ride next year. You won't be disappointed. A final bit of forest riding - on the roads rather than forest trails due to all the rain and we were back at the cars by half past five with sixty two miles ridden. No rain all day despite the clouds and wouldn't you know it - sunshine for the car trip home. Thursday 14th June 2012 - report from Bill Balchin: Surely in mid-June you should be thinking about sun block and sweat bands, not whether to wear shorts or longs, or base layers? But the day did not start too badly at Bitton station with a bit of brightness in the cloudy sky and a steady wind from the south-east. After a trip down the railway path to Saltford we lost both Brian Kington and Pete Hobbs who had just popped along to say "Hello, goodbye" before going off to do other stuff leaving eleven on a Mike Chouings special to the Ring O'Bells at Hinton Blewitt via Marksbury, Farmborough and Timsbury. We were riding pretty well as a tight group until crossing the main road on the way to Clutton Hill when Arnold, Malcolm and the fixie twins - Martyn and Roger were held up by traffic and became detached. By the time the other seven had cycled past the Hunters Rest and into Clutton village we realised there had been a split but after waiting for a while decided to press on using the planned route through Paulton. Just before Hallatrow we passed a large peloton from Bath travelling in the opposite direction - see you later. Our route continued on small lanes, most of which were new to those of us from the north of Bristol through the small villages of Clapton and Ston Easton to approach Hinton Blewitt from the south - up a dirty great hill of course - and arrive just before twelve thirty with a twenty two mile trip. And sat in the pub were the four escapees who had arrived before opening time and banged on the door, team Bath, and Tony, Dave and John Tyler from the team Yate plus Brian and Lara - so a nice party at the end. And staggering the arrival helps the kitchen as well doesn't it? Well, the pub has new management so maybe they are finding their feet but both Mike and I waited nearly an hour for our meals which messed plans for a group ride back to Bristol. Eventually a group of six left the pub after two o'clock after all the others had gone, reduced to four after a few yards when Rob and Alex turned off for Bath. The official group (because Pete was there with the Android) dropped into Bishop Sutton, straight across the main road, then instead of turning left to pass the lake and take Denny Lane we carried straight on up Knowle Hill then left into Chew Magna on Moorledge Road. The rain could not restrain itself any longer and it started gently but would not stop until midnight. From Chew it was Norton Hawkfield to Whitchurch where Pete and Alan Thomas took the Whitchurch cycle track into Bristol and I carried on with Mike down Redlynch Lane. With a good route like this in the bag I expect it will get another airing - preferably in sunshine. to see the official route click here. Tuesday 19th June 2012 - report from Bill Balchin: What a fantastic invention the Internet is. Not only able to mobilise the Arab Spring but it also enabled an extra Tuesday ride to be slipped in at short notice on a day of good weather. Six riders turned up to repeat the 8th May ride from Castle Combe, five of whom were on the previous trip but there were no complaints with lots of sunshine, little wind and gently rolling scenery.

  • South Gloucestershire Council Boundary Review Liberal Democrat Group Submission June 2017
    South Gloucestershire Council Boundary Review Liberal Democrat Group Submission June 2017 This submission is from the Liberal Democrat group on South Gloucestershire Council. The Lib Dems are the second largest group on the council, and one of only two to ever have had an overall majority. As such, there is a good understanding of community links, and history, across much of the district. In our submission we have focussed upon the areas where we have deep community roots, stretching back over 40 years. In those areas we know the communities well, so feel we can make submissions which reflect the nuances of natural communities. However, there are some areas where we do feel others are better placed to identify the nuances. In those areas we have not sought to offer detailed solutions. We believe communities and individuals in those areas are best placed to provide their local solutions. We have submitted specific plans for the district over the areas where we have a good understanding, and believe our proposals are powerful, rooted in strong community identities, and efficient local government. All of the proposals are within the permissible variance from the new electoral quota with 61 Councillors, and we do not believe this needs to be modified up or down to make the map work. South Gloucestershire elects in an “all-up” manner, which means under Commission guidance, a mixture of 1, 2, and 3 member wards is appropriate, which we have proposed. We have proposed no ‘doughnut’, or detached wards, and many of the proposals allow for the reunification of communities which have previously been separated by imposed political boundaries.

  • The Stratford Lane Roman Road and Other Early Routes on Mendip
    Proc, Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1992 19 (2), 151-182 THE STRATFORD LANE ROMAN ROAD AND OTHER EARLY ROUTES ON MENDIP by R.G..I.WILLIAMS ABSTRACT The existence of the Stratford Lane Road was first suggested in 1906- Opinions have differed firstly as lo us course from Ihe Mendip hilltop into Ihe Chew Valley and secondly as to Us function. This road and some medieval mutes in the ure;i wliidi might have Roman or earlier origins are examined in detail in this paper which also queries Ihe theory that the River Chew was used to transport Roman lead. Fieldwork was aided by the study of documents dating from ihe .sixteenth century held locally and in Ihe United Stales »f America. Fresh information on some archaeological sites on Mendip is given, including newly identified round-barrows, old boundary stones, a pillow mound and Ihe boundary of a medieval warren. INTRODUCTION In all ages since the neolithic farming communities became settled there has been a need for both local communication between habitation sites and access to resources. The elaborately constructed wooden trackways, dated to the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age periods, found in the peat moors south of the Mendip Hills, suggest a planned communication system with connections to other areas. Iron Age settlement on Ihe central Mendip plateau in caves, enclosures and hill-forts is confined to the edges of the escarpment but there is a dispersed pattern of farmsteads in the surrounding valleys, There is evidence of bronze and iron working at these .sites but there was only a limited use of lead in the Iron Age.
