[Cancelled] 09:15 2 Boot Pewsey Vale and Salisbury Plain (Brunel Plus)

Event Date: Sun 21 June 2020

This walk is in the past.

This is a walk of contrast between the tranquil (and level) Pewsey Vale and the rugged landscape of Salisbury Plain. We start in the village of Chirton and west through several villages to the edge of Devizes then head south through Urchfont up unto the edge of Salisbury Plain, where there are good views in all directions before returning to the start. This is followed by tea and cake in my village garden. Start point in front of Chirton church gate, SU073576, postcode SN10 3RP. Roadside parking in the main village street. If you want to lift share from Bristol please meet at the Water Tower at 9:15, the walk leader will not be there.

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,
