Event Date: Sun 20 August 2017
10.5 miles
This is a very easy 2 boot. Suitable for 1 booters looking for a slightly longer distance without too many hills or any 2 booters wanting a not too strenuous local walk.
We start at Tockington then follow the fields north to Littleton upon Severn before looping back towards Thornbury and Old Down in a figure of 8. Lots of views of the Severn estuary, a couple of small hills (but nothing too much). Can be extended if required / wanted… You don’t have to go far for a good walk!
Bring packed lunch, pub to finish.
Walk leader: Paul S ( (Phone number removed) )
Car share meeting point: Meet at the water tower at 9.45am
Alternative meeting point: On the green in the centre of Tockington at 10.15am. Please contact the walk leader if going directly to the alternative meeting point.
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,
