+1 at the willy wicket

Will there not be a crazy amount of people on the path?

Well there are not many as crazy as nbcc!

Bitton to Bath is not exceptionally busy at 10 on a Saturday, not so sure on Tunnels bit.

Mark, I haven't got any lights. Will you make me ride on my own if I do show up?  

Just a little set from the £1 shop will do as it's a bit dark in them there tunnels and people cant see you coming.

We did a similar route a couple of weeks ago and the path was relatively clear at that time in the morning. I guess nearer lunchtime or in the afternoon it would be rammed hence our return route coming back by road.

It's up to you but as Scott has said you don't have to spend a lot to be seen.

Can't get my lights to fit my "effing bar" dam comfort bar is to thick (yes i know what your thinking "a bit like the rider")

Poundshop sounds about right for me!

I would like to come but some sadly very ill in-laws have ruined all cycling plans of the last few weeks (and rightly so really) if I do I will meet you at Bitton, which would be about 10 mins after Warmley.

TK Maxx stocks the kind of lights you need, loads of inexpensive led flashers. Bought a pair of them for my folding bike last week.

I will see you at the Willy Wicket.

See you at Warmley Station

See you at Willy Wicket also.
