This walk is cancelled due to the rain and strong winds forecast
A fairly challenging circular walk in the Cotswolds and following sections of the Cotswold Way. Features of the walk will include Painswick Beacon, Standish Wood and Haresfield Beacon. Approximately 650m of elevation through the day.
We'll have two stops for lunch and snacks. At this time of year, it's advisable to pack gloves and spare layers for when we stop, as well as waterproofs.
I'd like to encourage people to consider car sharing as the car park at the start is now free to use and can fill up quickly.
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, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car.
Alternative meeting point: 09:45 at
Painswick
Please contact the walk leader if you will be meeting them there.
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.
