A very enjoyable walk today for 12 Severniside Ramblers starting from Slimbridge, following the River Cam to Frampton on Severn and back along the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. We dodged the showers, but it was really very chilly! Thank you Kathy S for such a good walk. Claire C.

22 Mar - The Tuckett Trail a walk led by Don Ford, photos taken by Ken Mill. More photos by Claire Cox. 

This walk follows the probable route Francis Fox Tuckett took to work each day from Frenchay to Baldwin Street in Bristol. He was a 19th century pioneering mountaineer who lived in Frenchay all his life. He walked to keep himself fit for his mountaineering. The walk starts at the Frenchay Village Museum and descends to the River Frome. It then follows the Frome Valley Walkway for much of the route. We emerge into Castle Park and the Bristol Bridge. From there the walks continues up Baldwin Street to The Centre where we caught the Metrobus to Begbrook. From Begbrook we continued the walk through Begbrook Park to return to the Museum. Many thanks to Don Ford for leading this walk. Photos taken by Ken Mill.

A very interesting 7.5 mile walk from Frenchay, following the River Frome through Eastville Park to Castle Green and the Centre, returning by bus! Thanks to Don for all the bits of history and information along the way. Claire C.
