Not beyond reach, fresh bagel snatched by union member (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bridgeable

'not beyond reach' is the definition.
(able to be reached or bridged)

'fresh bagel snatched by union member' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates an anagram.
'snatched by' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters get snatched up by others).
'union member' becomes 'bride' (I've seen this in other clues).
'bagel' is an anagram of 'geabl'.
'geabl' put inside 'bride' is 'BRIDGEABLE'.

(Another definition for bridgeable that I've seen is " that may be got across".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
