09:40 2 Boot Long Ashton and Bourton Combe (Joint Walk)

Event Date: Sat 3 September 2022
Event Time: 09:40

This walk is in the past.

11.5 mile walk starting at The Angel Inn in Long Ashton at 10.00 then heading on footpaths past the impressive Barrow Court to Bourton Combe then returns via Barrow Gurney and Gatcombe (with a potential shop at the Greedy Goose for cake) to the start.

I will be heading straight to The Angel but if someone could arrange lifts from St Mary Redcliffe at 9.40 then that would be great.

You could also use public transport to get to the start of the walk if you so wish with buses stopping at the Angel. Other local buses probably stop at near Ashton Gate then it's just over a mile walk from there to The Angel.

Please bring a pack lunch, although there will be options for stopping for a quick drink at a cafe or pub on route or at the end depending on feedback from the group.

On street parking is available in Long Ashton but you will need to walk a little back to the pub.

One small section of the walk is a little overgrown so probably worth bringing long trousers or zip off ones.

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,
