'In this fascinating talk, John Grimshaw introduces the Somerset Circle – the (yet to be fully completed) 88-mile cycle route looping around Bristol, Bath, the Mendips, Somerset Levels and the coast. *Greenways and Cycleroutes*, has been instrumental in creating the route, including 50 miles of cycle path along disused railway lines. John will share the story behind the Somerset Circle, and his vision for a greener, healthier and more connected landscape – one where walking and cycling are part of everyday life.' - Foccal summary\* **Advisable to buy your £5 ticket in advance via: [https://foccal.com/event/554](https://foccal.com/event/554) as talks at the library sometimes sell out.** **Doors and the bar open at 6.30 pm and the talks starts at 7.00 pm.** Parking in Clifton Village is difficult but, after 5.00 pm, there is free parking nearby in Worcester Road and most of College Road. Bus options on the **[TravelWest website](https://journeyplanner.travelwest.info/?ui=ui)**. Bicycle stands in front of the library. **Meet by the Meetup sign on top of the bookcase just beyond the bar. I'll reserve seats for BBE Meetup members who've bought their own tickets in advance.** After the talk, maybe join us for a chat about it in the pub next door. \*Foccal is a group of volunteers which organises excellent free and paid for events to help keep the library open - forthcoming events: **[https://public.foccal.com/eventlist](https://public.foccal.com/eventlist)**
