This walk is in the past.
Start the New Year with a nice walk:)
10.5 Mile Walk (1991ft/600m of ascent). Starting in Banwell near the Brewers Arms Church St, Banwell BS29 6EA then heads up over Banwell Hill and across the valley to Barton Hill where we climb on a steep(ish) path. We then descend to Compton Bishop then head up the ridge line to Crook Peak for more fine views. We then cross over the M5 on quiet roads to Loxton before returning to the start for a drink in the pub if people so wish.
Route is a mixture of footpaths, bridleways, and quiet roads. Terrain will be mixed and may include muddy footpaths, and wet rocky tracks so walking boots are advised.
Please bring suitable clothes as it could be cold and wet & bring a sit mat or something to sit on when we stop for picnic lunch / snacks.
I will meet you in Banwell so please sort out lift shares amongst yourselves at the Watertower in Clifton.
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.
