Mindful that there have been quite a number of postings on this thread this year that went to outlying areas from which a return to the route of the previous journey was deemed necessary. I too will make a similar posting here.........

We next board the 1006 Stagecoach South service 18 to Wrecclesham (the bus stop opposite Westfield Lane on The Street) that arrives there at 1033 on Sunday morning.

[-Colly405-]

With the rather complicated road layout hereabouts we are annoyingly just too far from the metrobus guided busway stop at Ashton Gate, and too far from the A38 in the other direction. We therefore head 0.4 miles to the Bower Ashton (Winterstoke Rd) stop on Ashton Rd, just a stones throw from where we were two moves ago! There we board First West of England Badgerline service X4 at 1353, alighting at Portishead, Sainsburys at 1424 on Monday.
