A known subversive, "Analogue Andy", has been praising the Frome Valley cycle route, saying it joins up communities where the M32 divides them.
Well, if the valley cycle route is of social benefit, it is purely because of the infrastructure improvements the M32 added
Look at this
An all-year, all-weather, family picnic area.
Not even the bearpit benches offer such a sheltered area to take the whole family, park near IKEA, then walk over here to enjoy the afternoon.
We would love to see any photos people have of this area in its heyday, when there were, presumably, many families, laughing kids playing, happy parents bringing flasks of tea from their Austin Morris cars to drink here.
Sadly, even this photo is a relic: the benches have been converted into a skateboard park. The right to have a picnic under the M32 has forever been stolen. Well, unless you have a tartan rug in your Austin Morris.

Is Analogue Andy right, in your opinion?
the footbridge between St Werburgh's and Easton is handy, though cycling from there to Bristol Sweet Mart is a matter of going up a one-way street where the cycle contraflow signs have faded and oncoming traffic think it that as you are breaking the law they are allowed to kill you.
Is it not noisey under there for a picnic.
I recommend going to snuff mills instead.
