About the group....

Brunel 20s and 30s Walking Group is based in the Bristol and Bath area. We're a friendly group for young(ish) adults, from the newcomer to recreational walking through to experienced hill walkers. Our programme offers around 120 walks a year, ranging from 4 mile ambles through to testing 17 mile up and downers in the Brecons. Each walk is led by a volunteer leader and almost all have been pre-walked.

The Group was set up in 1999 and continues to grow having now grown beyond 275 members, the majority of whom walk with us regularly. As well as frequent walks, our programme also contains a number of weekends away, social evenings, pub nights, meals out at local restaurants, a monthly cinema evening, regular visits to local theatres, and many more besides. The meeting points for all walks are in Bristol and are mostly accessible using public transport from Bristol City Centre.

Walk Leader Training

Geoffrey has arranged walk leader training for our Brunel Plus members. The course will be led by Ian B and include a theory and practical session. Both sessions are designed to be fun and enjoyable whilst also giving you the basics to lead your own Brunel walk. Places are still available for the course, please see the Brunel Plus Programme for further details.

Harbour Regatta

The Bristol Harbour Festival is from Friday 30th July to Sunday 1st August and is being held around the Bristol Docks area. The Brunel Pub Night is also on 30th July at the Naval Volunteer in King Street. Do expect traffic and car parking to be busier than normal. Full details about the festival can be obtained from their official website.

Robin Needs Your Walks!

Robin urgently needs more walks to cover the programme over August and September. Please submit your walks via our Submit A Walk form. If you would like more guidance on walk leading please ready our Walk Leading page. For those of you who have never led a walk before, please email us, we can normally buddy you up with someone who can offer advice and guidance.
