The best of the bunch by a long way is under the Galleries in the centre of town - awesome
Agreed! There is also a good one around the back of the Holiday Inn near the M32 junction of the ring road, and some good ones around the back of the ring road around Hambrook.

V8S - I'll dig out the route I did for TVRCC a few years back and e-mail it to you, it was based on tunnels and bridges and although it was a fair amount of town driving, you can just pick out the bits you fancy!
That'd be great, Sarah. Thanks.

Sandy has already taken me around quite a few, but I'm sure even a seasoned Bristolian such as her might have missed a few.

We found one up under the M5 near Almondsbury (?) which was rather good. Quiet road too.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of doing a PH Bristol tunnel run.

Sounds good to me! Well hijacked. smile I'd only got as far as mapping them all and scrolling around the satellite view to see what others might be about, ready for some scouting in the next few weeks.

Can't do it this weekend but I'll consult my calendar (the other half) to see what weekends are a go-er.

Excellent work, and I do like the look of those tunnels.

Mmmmmm. Imagine my V8 down that last one... giggidy

So are we doing this tunnel run then, people?

Show of hands?

Mudskipper has been looking at tunnels too and thinks she might have a couple we can add to the route, but we're going to scout them at some point to see what's what.

Mudskipper needs to post up the pic she has of someone putting their hand on your rear tyre.

no....me!! biggrin
My dear, you're far too clumsy. You'll have bumped your head on the tub and sawn your arm off before I've even got the bits out of the delivery box. biggrin

Actually, I'll have probably buggered up the order and we'll end up in the garage, standing around three peaches and a garden gnome.
