To avoid being stranded here overnight, we *just* manage to walk the 7 mins (0.4 mile) to the stop at The Clock where ar 2041 re board (the same vehicle, having been around its loop at Sodding Chipbury) First Bristol, Bath & the West service Y6. We alight at Stoke Gifford, Hunts Ground Road at 2110 so that I can pop home for a cup of tea!

This *just* fits - about 2 yards longer walk would be 8 minutes and we' be stranded overnight...
