Christmas 2022 donation to Sustrans

In the same minimalist vein as in previous years I have once again, instead of spending money on Christmas cards, made a Christmas donation to a charity this year.

 


 

As a regular user (and lover) of the Bristol-to-Bath cycle path (as mentioned in previous blog entries here or here), I’ve donated to Sustrans, a British charity and the custodian of the National Cycle Network. Sustrans, which is headquartered in Bristol, provides and cares for a UK-wide network of signed cycling and walking paths, connecting cities, towns and countryside, where everyone can thrive.

 

The Bristol-to-Bath cycle path was constructed on the track bed of the former Midland Railway, which closed for passenger traffic at the end of the 1960s. Between 1979 and 1986, the railway line was converted into the railway path. The delights encountered on the path include public artworks, disused railway station buildings, spectacular views of the countryside and attractive resting places.

Donations to Sustrans, which will contribute towards creating safe and accessible paths and spaces for cyclists, walkers and wheelchair users, can be made here.

 

May I take this opportunity to wish all followers of my blog a serene, peaceful Christmas and a productive, healthy new year!
