January 2021. Walk 1, Beyond Bristol 2 Update
08.01.21. Update on recent changes to the footpath network around Park Farm, between points F and G, following customer report of 02.01.21 and author visit. You can still access Park Farm but you should now divert; and approach it from a different direction. From point F, keep straight-ahead along the Monarch's Way. Beyond the first bridge, turn sharp left and then straight through fields to reach the Park Farm driveway. From here, you now follow the new footpath around the outer edge of the garden, as waymarked. Exit into the field as per the originally published route and resume; to reach point G. Amended in March 2021 reprint.
May 2020. Walk 18, Beyond Bristol 2 Update
Although the route remains precisely as described and mapped, it has emerged that a minor clarification is needed regarding the use of the lettering for the key points of the walk. A sticker has been added to page 106 for all future sale copies. If this sticker is not included, the author will be pleased to send. Amended in March 2021 reprint.
