9:00am / 1 Boot, 7.7miles / A pheasant surprise in Ozleworth Bottom! (Joint Walk)

Event Date: Sat 22 October 2016
Event Time: 9:00am

Beginning in Wotton-under-Edge, we will enter the beautiful Cotswold countryside, heading towards Wortley, where we will walk past some beautiful cottages whilst walking along a section of the Cotswold Way. After this we shall stumble upon a beautiful French looking Mansion, with views to boot! Next there will be a steep climb into the woods and up to the remote hamlet of Tresham. Walking through farmland with views across the River Severn, we shall head back down into the woods and into Ozleworth Bottom, where we can take a sneaky peak of Ozleworth Park! With yet another steep climb into the woods, we shall walk to Newark Park, which is a Tudor National Trust House, where we may have the chance to sample a little treat!
After admiring the house (from outside), we shall head down Blackquarries Hill along the Cotswold Way, through the quaint hamlet of Coombe and back into Wotton-under Edge.

Please bring sensible clothing as this route is extremely muddy, despite any gorgeous weather!
I do not recommend this route for dogs as we pass a lot of farm animals.
Please make sure you bring plenty of food and drink to have during the walk.
Depending on the group size, I will see if we can go somewhere for food afterwards.
Prepare yourselves for a Pheasant Surprise!
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.

This is a joint walk led by 20/30s.

Meet: 9:00am at St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol. Alternatively meet at 9:45am at Potter’s Pond Car Park, Wotton-under-Edge, GL12 7HF
Please let the leader know in advance if you intend to meet in Wotton-under-Edge.

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,
