From the other side…

Lest we forget our one day of snowfall on Sunday, here is quite a reflective photograph from ‘Otter Cam’ who lives on Cleveland Bridge. Apparently the otters, and friends, are back and being filmed so we should get a new film soon. It also shows much of Camden from how many see it lower down in the city.

It also reminds us of the potential disruption to be caused later this year when the bridge has to be closed for repairs. We are strongly urging the Council to include Camden in the first phase of their ‘Liveable Neighbourhoods’ initiative to protect north Bath from displaced traffic unable to cross the river.

On our Sunday’s exercise we set out on Rivers Road behind Upper Camden Place and saw this view which I habitually liken to Les 3 Vallees – not that I’ve ever been there! I often wonder if we had a huge dump of snow how many snowboarders and skiers we would see on Bathwick Meadows, Smallcombe, Prior Park and Perrymead.

Needless to say that SteveK’s CRA snow operation was primed and ready for action on Monday morning but the warmer weather helped us out. There was however serious snow clearing on Perfect View and a heart warming sense of community cohesion, to use the jargon.
