18:30 1 Boot Clifton to Abbots Pool Loop (Joint Walk)
Event Date: Wed 5 August 2026
Event Time: 18:30
6.2 Mile walk starting at the Observatory in Clifton and looping over to Abbot Pools via Leigh Wood Nature Reserve.
As this is an evening walk and I walk fast, pace will be in excess of 3 mph so please take this into account when attending.
Thinking if the weather is nice rather than going to the pub at the end we could enjoy the sunset with a drink near the observatory, so please bring some with you, and some snacks if you so wish. I will bring a cool box and a couple of picnic blankets to sit on which I will leave in my car at the start. If the weather is wet we will go the pub.
Pub to finish.

As a guide, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car.
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.
