Thanks Robin for defending us cyclists. I'm a car driver, pedestrian, runner and a cyclist!!

As a cyclist I obey traffic lights (although there are times when it might of been safer not to of done!!) and also have 3rd party insurance. The worst thing I find when cycling on the Bristol and Bath ...

Just to muddy the water a bit further, a number of sources, including one previously posted by Robin a few years back, put the slip between Fishponds and Staple Hill, whereas others put the slip between Kingswood Junction and Fishponds!!

One of the comments left by a reader has a link to Sustrans Facebook page where there is a photo showing the cycle path and ...

The cycle track is already open from just beyond Tucking Mill Viaduct to the outskirts of Wellow, and again from Shoscombe into Radstock and on towards Midsomer Norton.

It might end up being more than a 4-mile walk :)

Doesn't time fly, after doing a quick search on here I just realised it was 6 ...

Excellent shots Michael.

I had hoped to do this photo charter, but had something else on earlier the same day.

How about the Bristol Harbour Railway? I think you'll find walkers, cyclists and even cars in the 4ft along there.

I only managed to get there for some of the time on Sunday and unfortunately the weather was a bit dull. Some photo's below.

Will it be possible to buy a working timetable for the event? Not a bad way for the railway to make an amount of money from the photographers (including myself) who on some days prefer to photograph the trains. Another idea would be for a donation box to be set in the station area. <BJ ...

Not a spaceship but a Vulcan may be over Filton tomorrow.

I spent all morning telling all and sundry that it was flying over only to miss it as it didnt use the filton flight path it seemed to go over Yate so I missed it at the workshop which ...

Looking at the shadows the sun was fairly high in the sky, so assuming it was taken at the height of the sun, mid day, the train is coming from the north east so heading south west. That is of course if that is the front of the train. Is there any chance that it may be a banking engine and the ...

the green mile wrote:Wow! Wish I'd kept my thoughts to myself or was this a healthy debate?

It is most certainly a healthy debate!!

The 'problem' with bell codes is that everyone sends at different rates and how long is a long pause before you decide that is the 'stop bit' and not just a long pause?

Agreed that in both Morse code and bell codes there are no specific "baud rates" and the length of the data frame varies per ...

I have come to the conclusion that signalling bell codes were probably one of the earliest forms of digital communication based on the binary system along with Morse Code...

Hmmm... a binary system has just two values/states, 0 and 1. Morse Code uses two values, a 'dot' (short) and a 'dash' (long ...
