Bitton Station - new home to Bert

Contrary to earlier posts, my gorilla Bert is not to be seen outside Bristol Zoo, but at Bitton Station.
Bitton Station is part of The Avon Valley Railway.  Volunteers have restored this bit of the Midland Railway Line, and run steam trains from there throughout the summer.  See the timetable here.

Bitton Station is also on the Bristol - Bath Cyclepath, a 13 mile off-road route for walkers and cyclists between the two cities.  There is a picnic area, pub, river and horse-riding route in the area.  The nearby Willsbridge Mill is part of a Avon Wildlife Trust reserve, with an education centre.  See all the things happening and available in the area here.

Noah (currently outside Bristol Zoo)

Meanwhile, another gorilla sponsored by Mama Bear's Day Nursery, which went on the gorilla flotilla, is the gorilla greeting visitors to Bristol Zoo.  It represents animals in pairs, and is called Noah.
