LATEST NEWS

May 2020. Walk 18, Beyond Bristol 2

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 in your book, the author will be pleased to send.

July 2020. Walk 19, Beyond Bristol 2 Update

03.07.20 update on temporary track closure in woodland between B and C, following author visit. Short section of downhill track closed on account of a landslip and fallen trees. Obviously in the course of restoration. In the interim, follow the instructions on the metal field gate to take the 'lower track' and stick closely with this as it curves around to the right. You can soon identify a matching metal gate at the bottom end of the closed section; from which you can re-orientate and continue along the route.
