6 miles/9.7km
**Please only attend if you can travel safely**
A meander through a snowy Ashton Court Estate and a little of Leigh Woods.
Boots which will support your ankles and gaiters/waterproof trousers are recommended.
This isn’t a really long walk, but will be harder work and slower in the snow.
The car park at the meeting point is small and may have few spaces – best to walk there, especially given the state of the roads. Don’t risk a long car journey…I’m sure there’s somewhere to enjoy the snow near you too!
Pub to finish.
Walk Leader: David C ( (Phone number removed) )
Meet: 14:00 at Brunel Lock Car Park by the Nova Scotia pub

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,
