Event Date: Sun 26 March 2017
Event Time: 11.15 am
6 miles
Revised description and meeting point (as parking in Bath city council is expensive on Sundays)
Plan is to have our picnic lunch from a viewpoint looking down on Bath and, at end the walk, refreshments at the Holburne Museum Cafe (no admission fee payable if you just use the cafe).
If you’re travelling by car, there is free on-street parking on Sundays in Forester Road, BA2 6QF, and adjoining roads. In Forester Road and adjoining roads, ignore the signs saying “Residents Parking Only” – those signs don’t apply on Sundays.
Bring a packed lunch.
Walk Leader: Jeff R ( (Phone number removed) )
Meet: 11.15 am outside the front entrance to the Holburne Museum, Great Pulteney Street, Bath BA2 4DB. (the museum is just inside Sydney Gardens park). Jeff will be wearing a hi-vis yellow tabard.
Please note the clocks go back the night before this walk!
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,
