Day 26 Get on your bike

If you haven't discovered it yet the Bristol to Bath cycle path is fantastic, family friendly place to take a closer look at nature. At this time of year the route is full of wild foods, from blackberries to damsons, and apples to elderberries.The flat, traffic free path is an ideal place to take a first bike ride or for those more experienced, to get all the way to Bath from Bristol (or visa versa) stopping at the old railway station cafe on route for refreshments. If I have any left when I get home I love making blackberry muffins with my foraged finds.You can access the cycle path at many points along the route which has been photographed in both directions. Stop off along the way with a picnic and investigate the hedgerows, use the OPAL biodiversity survey to help you identify the different plants that might be growing in them.
