Event Details Updated
The Park & Ride in Hunts Ground Rd, now only takes payment by mobile ( £2.40 ) or credit card ( £3.60 ). So for those travelling by car I recommend parking in North Road, Stoke Gifford, past the Beaufort Arms ( no parking restrictions on Saturday & Sunday) Post code ? BS34 8PB or map ref -- ST622797. North Rd is next to the road entrance to Parkway Station and 5 ? 10 mins walk from station entrance. Please be at the Station entrance by 9am as we will be leaving promptly. We will be stopping for lunch at Laddenside Farm, Iron Acton, toilets are available and tea/coffee with cakes will be provided, if the weather is not kind we can shelter in the buildings, there is also options to cut the walk short. The clocks will have gone back on this weekend, so I will reduce the walk to 17 ? 18 miles.
