Sunday 30 March is a day of celebration of the wonderful green corridor, bustling with cyclists and walkers, that is the Sustrans path linking Bristol with Bath. Full details of the event are on the Sustrans website. The procession starts from Fishponds at 2.30 (remember the clocks go back the night before). Bring musical instruments, fancy dress or just yourself. cyclists will be wheeling their bikes for the procession and times may well slip. Join at Devon Road at roughly 2.45 then procession from the path to College Green between 3pm and 4.30. At College Green there will be a rally with speakers. Do come and join the event to show your support for saving the path from the plan to turn it into a 40mph route for a bus on rails, which would mean stripping all the greenery, laying concrete and rails, leaving only a narrow edge for cycling and walking and with only a few points many miles apart where the path could be crossed.
