08:50 3 Boot Banwell, Crook Peak and Bleadon Hill (Joint Walk)

Event Date: Sat 24 September 2022
Event Time: 08:50

This walk is in the past.

Hilly walk with great views starting in Banwell then heading across to Crook Peak and Bleadon Hill and returning via different paths. This route has 5 big climbs with 2604ft of ascent and will be covered at a reasonably brisk pace, so a fairly high level of fitness is required. If you struggle at the back, then give this one a miss.

I will meet you at Banwell, but can offer anyone lifts that lives near Clevedon.

If someone can arrange lifts from the water tower at Clifton that would be great.

Bring a pack lunch and plenty of fluids and wear suitable clothing for changeable weather.

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, 30p/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,
