The contrail free sky but...

RIVER AVON within the city limits of Bristol.
Welcome to a contrail free sky over Britain as volcanic dust grounds all aircraft but it can cause some problems...
However few problems for 'greenish' travellers except overcowded long distance and overnight trains etc.
TIPS
A pedestrian place with a cycle could be had last night on the Portsmouth Le Havre ferry for today for £28 and on day boats there are places Harwich-Hook of Holland from Tuesday (£33 with a cycle or £29 without). From Hook of Holland trains East and North can be booked even as far as Helsinki or Moscow ALTHOUGH NIGHT TRAINS ARE HEAVILY BOOKED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. Try German Rail website and booking number in UK 08718808066 or of course Seat61.com.
But it probably a good time to stay closer to home and use the diamond bus pass!

update on 'When it rains...'

sadly the *Michelin Restaurant in Foye has closed. Any recommendations on where now to eat in th rain would be welcome!
When it doesn't rain or even when it does Trebar Gardens near Falmouth are terrific and reachable either by the South West Coast Path (with a little difficulty) or by the 500 bus every couple of hours or so Mon-Sat. Why not Sunday we may ask?
