beer Day out Sight-Seeing

Join the organisers for a summer’s day out to Bristol searching the city for giant Wallace and Gromit sculptures. The hunt is on for over 60 Gromit, Wallace and Feathers McGraw sculptures all in aid of Bristol Children’s Hospital and the Special Care Baby Unit at St Michael’s Hospital.

This is a great way to explore the city and take in many of the sights including the harbour and Clifton suspension bridge. As well as sight-seeing there will also be time to visit some great pubs around the city and sample local ales and food.

Meet at 10.00am at Bristol Temple Meads Station – more information on train times will follow nearer the time so keep checking the website for updates.

Updated: Please meet the organiser outside the main entrance of Bristol Temple Meads train station at 10.00am.
If you haven’t arrnanged your tickets yet, the 8.30am departure from Reading arrives at Bristol Temple Meads at 09.45am.
If you are arriving later please contact the organiser on the day to arrange a convenient meet point.

Booking onto a walk

Most walks do not require advance booking, and you can just turn up on the day. We encourage those comfortable with Meetup to indicate there that you plan to come though, so that others can see there will be plenty of people there – this really helps to encourage new members to come along.
For the few which still have limited numbers, this is handled via Meetup. Follow the link to a walk’s Meetup page (or press 🎟 Register / 🎟 Tickets / 🎟), and mark yourself as attending.
Social and other events may have their own booking system – please see the event description.

Pace Guide

Gentle: led at a gentle pace with regular short breaks for water or rest. Should be suitable for anyone capable of the distance. (Expect 2–2.5 mph.)
Medium: led at an intermediate pace with fewer breaks but still suitable for most walkers. (Expect 2.5–3 mph.)
Fast: led at a quick pace with minimal breaks. May be a challenge for those with less fitness. (Expect 3 mph+.)

Speeds quoted are only a rough guide, including time spent on short water/rest stops and negotiating stiles/gates/roads etc. but not that spent on longer lunch or pub stops.
