June 2021. Walk 4, Beyond Bristol 2 Diversion

Reprofiling of the old railway line in early 2021 necessitates taking the well-defined path up to the left just before C and above Wall Weir (refer to the map), thereby omitting a small section. The diversion soon rejoins the main route. Author is yet to check but is informed that the signage is clear.

 

June 2021. Walk 19, Beyond Bristol 2 Temporary Diversion

Despite the landslip reported in June 2020 having been largely restored, the downhill track in the woodland between B and C is still reported as 'closed'. Diversion is simple and short but not well shown. From the metal gate go down the parallel track and bear slightly right.  It is key is to pick up the matching metal gate at the bottom, from where you can take stock and pick up the route again.  The current situation has been flagged with the the Highway Authority.

 

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.
