I've been watching reports posted on YT for a while regarding the opening of this tunnel to cycling. I'm a cycle club member of thirty five years and have ridden up and down the route from Bristol to Reading via the Kennet and Avon Canal on and off for a least fifteen years. I look forward to the opening of this route through the tunnel and thank you and all the folks who have posted vids that are keeping me up to date with the progress. P.W (Clarencourt CC)
Hi GEH Dunedin, Always happy to pass on any information we have that may be of use to our friends in other places with similar ambitions. Cheers, Franl
Great, thanks for that Frank! Really looking forward to cycling it. I remember walking through some years ago, it was lit then with sort-of fluorescent glowball things, very dark and very eerie. The lighting here looked really good. Pity they couldn't hide some solar-panels on the hillside somewhere to power them, really! Keep keeping us informed! Thanks.
The "New s&d " are hell bent on reopening this railway throughout, I doubt you see this in anyway a threat,lol. I do though applaud the effforts of the sections of line that are being used for trains again and would be nice to see the 2 groups work together, Railway and cyclists walkers etc.

Ooh, we may have to borrow this research you've done! It'd be ideal for a couple of tunnels we're looking to get opened.
