08:30 1 Boot East Mendip Way Spooktacular (Joint Walk)

Event Date: Sat 31 October 2026
Event Time: 08:30

This walk is in the past.

Join in for a halloween walk special at the far end of the Mendip Way (I planning on a few more East to West), where we can circle around some aptly named terrain features suitable for the day! We will follow the Easy Mendip Way westards from the end point in Frome, and out to the hamlet of Bedlam, passing Murder Combe before exiting the main path to enter the grounds of Nunney Castle. We will return back to the start via Gibbet Hill before returning to the start. A total ascent of 255m over the course of the walk.

Parts of this walk do get very muddy with wet weather particularly towards the start. Waterproof boots are strongly recommended, particularly for the time of year. If you are sharing a lift there, please be be considerate and bring a pair of dry shoes too. Free parking is available on Welshmill Road (BA11 2LA).

Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.

How do I join the walk?

Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.

On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there. 

If sharing lifts passengers are expected to contribute towards petrol costs. Please bring coins or be prepared to make a bank transfer. As a guide, 35p/mile shared by everyone in the car. 

How do I know what to bring? And am I fit enough?

We provide a full recommended kit list here.  Please do bring water, a rainproof jacket, walking trousers (or similar) and walking shoes/boots – avoid jeans and trainers.

Walks are graded as either 1 boot, 2 boot or 3 boot.  Read more about choosing the right walk for your fitness level here,
