Just did the same thing - it's just over a mile which I reckon takes me about 15 mins if I'm in a hurry. What Google Maps doesn't apparently show is that you can cut off a corner because there's a footpath and steps down the side of the cathedral that takes you straight up from Anchor Road (more or less opposite the entrance to the erstwhile Wildscreen at-Bristol) to College green.

BTW (by the way), where is the college exactly? I had a feeling it was a bit further down Anchor Road towards Hotwells, or is it Deanery Road? Or am I getting hopelessly confused?

If it is indeed here - St Georges Road, at the back of College Green, opposite the City Library - you could probably do it - but it's a bluddy brisk walk.  Roll Eyes

Your truck was fine as I walked past it this evening, Mookiemoo (well, apart from your back end protruding about two feet beyond the bay markings, if you'll pardon the comment!)  Roll Eyes Shocked Grin

Backwell Motors (just the other side of the railway bridge - where your mum collected you) have a free air hose on their forecourt.

Any problems, give me a call.  Wink
