Dropping the Mrs off for an appointment in Clifton tomorrow and need something to do for a couple hours while I wait. Any LBS worth a visit?

not in Clifton that i know of. A few down the hill on Stokes Croft if you want to make the trek.

If i had 2 hrs to kill in clifton i'd march up onto the downs, go and have a look at the gorge, walk along the footpath down the gorge back towards town, look at the bridge, then head to the Portcullis for a swift half and a read of the paper 🙂

The Zoo? Bristol Museum isn't bad either.

Alternatively you could cultivate a beard and wear tight jeans and partake of hipster coffees..

I need a structural survey done on the ground, garden and basement levels of a Victorian townhouse there. Fancy a bash at that?

I should've mentioned that I'll have the car and I won't be taking the bike. I've ridden Ashton/Leigh woods before. We're heading somewhere for a bit of shopping and a meal afterwards

There's a new exhibition about the bridge and Brunel. Just over the bridge. A wander on park st is nice. A few good outdoorsy shops and the bike shop is ok. Decent museum too. There's also Shaun the sheep spotting.
