Why fly halfway around the world when you can explore exotic places closer to home?
Join me for a carbon neutral expedition through the beating heart of exotic Bristol.
We will begin with a trek up Park Street, reaching our maximum altitude at the top of Blackboy hill, from where we will cross the plateau of Durdham Downs to reach a viewpoint looking out on the Avon Gorge, Bristol's rift valley. There we may be lucky enough to make a rare sighting of wild goats.
After a brief break there, we will visit one of the Lonely Planet's top five sights of the city, the Clifton Suspension bridge, which we will cross to reach a trading post in remote Ashton court for our lunch stop, before passing through the local safari park, populated by two species of deer.
Our epic journey will be completed with a chance to see native wall paintings on North Street, where there will be a pause for refreshments at an authentic local watering hole, possibly the Tobacco Factory, before we return to civilisation.
