bristol.jpgNew cycle map celebrates Bristol's maritime heritage
Bristol City Council has launched a new cycling and walking guide to the South-West port city’s historic harbourside to tie in with the Bristol Floating Harbour 200 bicentenary celebrations.
The 60-page booklet covers the whole of the harbour area and shows around ten miles of routes extending from Netham to Cumberland Basin, reports the website, Bristol24/7. It includes period pictures taken from Bristol’s Museums Galleries & Archives, together with contemporary pictures of the same scenes.
The booklet was written by Andy King, Curator of Maritime History for Bristol’s Museums, who said: “I’ve really enjoyed walking and cycling around the harbour over the last thirty years. I hope that others will discover more about it through these trails. The aim is to encourage people to explore the tremendous asset that they have on their doorsteps.”
It can be picked up for free at the City Museum & Art Gallery, the Central Library and various venues by the harbour, and can also be ordered online at www.bristol.gov.uk/travelinfo.

A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
They've got GPS tracking information, so the app can not allow the journey to be "finished" unless the bike is left in an authorised parking...
An excellent idea but then - due to expensive lawyers and accountants - no doubt the richer would be found to personally not own or control a penny...
