New Members Walk, all welcome!
Woodlands with babbling brooks, meadows with stunning views – it’s hard to believe such beautiful, secluded countryside can be found so close to Bristol!
The walk includes numerous stiles. We will stop at Abbots Pool for a picnic lunch.
Bring packed lunch.
Optional cafe to start and pub to finish. The Failand Inn does a good roast dinner for £8:95, or other dishes, and they serve food until 9:00pm.
Meet: 11:00am prompt to start the walk from outside the Community Cafe, Failand Village Hall, Ox House Lane, Failand BS8 3UL
If you would like to meet before the walk in the not-for-profit community cafe for drinks and/or delicious breakfast options such as bacon sarnies or Eggs Benedict, then Jeff (the walk leader) will be there to greet you from 10:00am.
Leader: Jeff R (Phone number removed)
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,
