This walk is in the past.

10.5 mile walk around the lovely Chew Valley.

Walk starts at Herons Green Car Park by the side of the lake on the B3114 (W3W's Scooped Recap Storage or GR ST55441 59340) at 10.00 then heads across to Blagdon Lake, then climbs and traverses the other side of the valley. Returning via the Wrangle and Compton Martin to the start.

Please bring a pack lunch.

Parking is limited by the lake so please try to lift share if possible.

I will be going straight to the start of the walk. So if someone could please arrange lift shares at St Mary Redcliffe that would be great.

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,
