09:30 2 Boot Wanderings from Wellow (Joint Walk)

Event Date: Sun 1 February 2026
Event Time: 09:30

This walk is in the past.

A wander through fields and woodland passing by Hinton Charterhouse, catching a glimpse of Midford castle (from a distance!) and passing the remnants of a former canal.

I last led this walk with the group in November 2024.

There are thin bits, stiles, gates, uneven ground, a small stream to ford, the odd path that gets a bit overgrown, fields with livestock and a few hills along the way. Some sections can be a bit slippery and boggy, so waterproof boots preferable to shoes. Something to sit on to keep your bum dry when we stop for lunch would be useful too! The weather is looking cold and a bit drizzly, so please bring warm layers and waterproofs.

There's the Fox and Badger pub in Wellow if people would like a drink afterwards.

Please do let me know if you intend to meet me/us in Wellow - if no-one lets me know, and if no-one comes to the Bristol meeting point, I won't come to Wellow to lead it.

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,
