Report from Bill Balchin: the Weather Pattern Over Christmas of Wet and Windy Days Alternating with Dry and Sunny Days Continued Into the New Year News for January 2014 Thursday 2nd January - report from Bill Balchin: The weather pattern over Christmas of wet and windy days alternating with dry and sunny days continued into the new year. After a particularly stormy new year's day our Thursday cycling day was excellent. The biggest problem was the bright sun either in your eyes or reflecting off the wet roads - that's if you discount the fact that your legs had forgotten how to pedal a bike since you shoved your cycle in the garage after our ride to Falfield a fortnight ago. Fifteen riders turned up on fourteen bikes (Rob and Hazel Shiels on the tandem accounting for the odd number) for a ride from Bitton to The Bird in Hand at Saltford. With John Bishop leading the way you could expect something special and so it turned out. After setting out in the opposite direction to Saltford we left the cycle path near the ring road to start a tour of the highlights of Kingswood and Hanham. After a bit of twisting and turning on streets that were probably new to many of us our first information stop was at the site of the former Kingswood grammar school. Notable former pupils include Sir Bernard Lovell, Professor Colin Pillenger and songwriter Roger Greenaway, as well as our own JR. A bit more urban cycling through the Cock Road area brought us to our next stop at Hanham Hall. One of the largest ever developments of eco-friendly housing is under construction in acres of open space. Everything is tuned for maximum sustainability, insulation, saving water, growing your own veg and so on. And all within easy reach of Bath and Bristol, and to quote John "handy for the Longwell Green shopping complex if you are mad enough to go there". A bit more of the ring road cycle path took us to Hicks Gate where we crossed the main road into Keynsham and climbed up towards Queen Charlton. The route of two halves now began phase two - out in the country as we descended Redlynch Lane and turned right at the bottom into Compton Dando. Bathford Hill led us towards Burnett where the final climb on lanes running with water saw a few walking. But just the drop into Saltford now and we arrived at the Bird in Hand a few minutes after twelve to find a fair number of our Seniors Section. Pete had taken a phone call from the pub during the ride querying the fact that they had two cycling groups booked in and were we Jack and Jean? But it was no problem despite over thirty cyclists arriving as well as a goodly number of civilians. I had the pork loin in mustard sauce again. I remembered that it was good but had forgotten that you get three loin steaks. It was a struggle but I made it. Everybody seemed well pleased with their meals, those senior types know a good thing when they see it. Leaving in the sunshine, no wind, not cold it was the most perfect day you could hope for. The cycle track was pretty crowded with dog walkers, hikers, kids on scooters - but we just toddled along being considerate cyclists enjoying the end of a great day out. Thursday 9th January - report from Bill Balchin: We got away with a good weather day last week and today was shaping up for another dry, bright oasis amongst the many wet and windy day. My day did not have the best of starts when I punctured just four miles from home. But as Pete had already stepped in as ride leader when Keith reported in sick, plus he had to deal with pre-ordering lunches and recording the route it would be excessive to land him with writing the report as well. So tube replaced I hurried as best I could and made the start only a couple of minutes late. Arriving in a pool of sweat it was "Right, Time to go". So I naturally fell into the back-marker role. Starting on the Festival Way and Flax Bourton track, Arnold was the next cyclist to have an incident when the jacket tied around his waist fell into the rear sprocket and a nylon pull-cord wrapped itself into every crevice available. With the assistance of Pete Hobbs the wardrobe malfunction was rectified and Pete confiscated the offending jacket and carried in his saddle bag for safety. The route then took us off the railway track at the first exit and left at the crossroads on the Wraxall Road. Going out cycling is a great way to understand the geography an area. We skirted along the ridge that marks the northern edge of the Kenn Moors taking a small lane called Ham Lane (not without some bother turning round after we initially overshot and had to wait for several dozen cars that had formed a convoy behind us). Pete Hobbs managed to over-balance while stationary - no Karma at work there but at least that made our ration of three incidents for the day. Ham Lane brought us onto Tower House Lane - a right "Millionaires Row" with expensive properties raised up from any floods and with views over the moors to the Mendips in the south. Coming out on the Clevedon Road we descended into Tickenham and took a left to cross the moors. I was wondering if we would encounter any flooding but everything was fine with deep ditches (or rhynes to give them their proper title) keeping the water away from the dry road surface. Just touching the west end of Nailsea we turned right by the Blue Flame, put in a gratuitous loop past the Hand stadium over the motorway and then back through Kenn on more well drained fields into Yatton. Just a short hop now and we made the Plough at Coungresbury by twelve fifteen. Several pubs have asked us to pre-order meals. Sometimes you wonder why they bother but the Plough team were as slick as you like. As soon as we entered the building the pre-ordered meals were being put on the table. Big queue for beer? No problem, just tell the guvnor what you want from an extensive selection of cask ales straight from the barrel as you pay for your lunch. And a fine lunch it was too. I can see why my fellow members of the Campaign for Real Ale made this their pub of the year 2013. Numbers were a bit down as a few of our original seventeen starters did not stop for lunch although a few local independent travellers brought the total up close to twenty I guess (too lazy to count again Bill ?: Ed). Still blue skies and sunshine for the homeward trip with the unspoken consensus being for the flattest most direct route through Yatton, Claverham and Backwell. And as far as I know the limit of three incidents per ride was not exceeded. Thursday 16th January - report from Bill Balchin: Our previous two outings during one of the wettest periods in history had been blessed with blue skies and no rain. Would it be three in a row? Setting out from home under cloudy skies on roads that have not been dry for weeks I got to the end of the road before I was being pelted with large gobs of cold water that stick on the front of your glasses while they are steamed up behind. But by the time I joined the other fifteen starters at Amcor it had stopped, and the pattern for the day had been set. Rich Hill was on his touring bike today having crashed on ice when riding his racer on Tuesday. He was checking out a planned route for the BTOTC at the time - no justice. As the saying goes "No good deed goes unpunished". Some made the mistake of removing clothing before David Woodward led the way to Hortham Lane and over the A38 down Fernhill but there was no avoiding the rain (or many of the puddles) as we turned left at the bottom of the hill and splashed along Tockington Lane into Almondsbury. Townsend Lane changed it's name to Badgers Lane as we turned right on Over Lane towards Easter Compton then left on Berwick Lane. We passed Spanorium Farm Gym where Jane Couch the former woman's welterweight boxing champion used to train then right by the King William IV pub towards Avonmouth. The main road into Avonmouth is not cycle friendly but has a nice section of cycle path before you are reduced to a shared path by the roadside. From this stretch you can appreciate the size of the second Severn crossing to your left. Crossing into Severn Beach we rode along the sea defences and under the motorway before turning off into New Passage and taking another cycle track beside the motorway to the White Horse at Northwick. The next section on Bilsham Lane into Ingst was one of the muckier bits but quite passable and only a short distance before we rolled into the Boars Head at Aust. The magic number of twenty five for lunch was a fair guess today with our sixteen plus a fairly large Bath group. You cant keep some people indoors no matter what the weather. There was a leaflet advertising winter ales, obviously printed before Christmas. One planned for January was Ashes Ale - "Brewed to celebrate Englands mission to retain the ashes in Australia". oddly enough there was none to be seen but the Pedigree or Ringwood Bitter was OK and the meals were fine.

  • Design Statement
    PARISH OF OLVESTON – DESIGN STATEMENT OLVESTON, TOCKINGTON, OLD DOWN, INGST, LOWER HAZEL, AWKLEY The Design Statement was written, edited and produced by the Olveston Parish Design Team – an independent group of local volunteers. In January 2002 a public meeting was called by Olveston Parish Conservation Society to discuss inappropriate development in the Parish. Over 115 parishioners attended the meeting. The meeting concluded that the preparation of a Village Design Statement would be a practical step the community could take to set out design principles for new development which would be more in keeping with the character of the parish. A Working Group was established and a questionnaire, seeking views on development related issues, was distributed to all 743 households. Over 30% of households responded. A Web Site was created and drafts of the design statement posted on it. A Community Workshop was held to report findings and to discuss key issues emerging. In January 2003 a full draft of the Design Statement was put on display in the Parish Hall (25th January 2003). All households were invited and over 200 people attended. The Design Statement was launched on 6th March 2004. All households were subsequently provided with a copy. Following the launch the Convenor wrote to South Gloucestershire Council asking that the Design Statement be formally adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance. Officers of the Council subsequently prepared a report for Executive Decision. The report was published as a proposed decision, which became implementable

  • And Myths of Rome's Second Augusta Legion and St Augustine's 'Oak'
    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 129 (2011), 117–137 Aust (Gloucestershire) and Myths of Rome’s Second Augusta Legion and St Augustine’s ‘Oak’ Conference By DAVID H. HIGGINS Introduction Aust in Gloucestershire has long attracted speculation over the origin of its name. The two favoured hypotheses offer an alternative: either (a) this minor ferry terminus with its settlement was named by (or after) the Second Augusta Legion of the Roman army which, stationed in full strength at Isca-Caerleon between c. 78 AD and the 3rd century, would have regularly crossed the Severn estuary from Sedbury to Aust (Augusta the claimed origin of the place-name) in order to access the main Abona (Sea Mills) to Glevum (Gloucester) artery; or (b) was named in memory of the Roman churchman St Augustine (in the later Middle Ages popularly contracted to ‘Austin’) of Canterbury who, in 603 AD (traditional date), held a conference allegedly at or hard by Aust, beneath a landmark oak tree, with leaders of the Christian Church of the autonomous British kingdom nearest to the recently converted Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Kent.1 The object of Augustine’s conference was to bring about uniformity of practice between the indigenous church of post- Roman Britain and the historic Christian church established by St Peter in the ancient capital of the Roman world. The major subjects of dispute were the British dating of Easter and the form of the baptismal rite (both, the Roman Church urged, should be Roman) and, in addition, Augustine required that the British, although understandably reluctant, should undertake the evangelisation of the pagan Anglo-Saxon invaders of their land.
