Bristol Oil Services Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 ..... as we know, Nige likes to get outdoors, and to stretch (not shave; he is very definitely a he, not a she) his legs, and if at all possible enjoy a brush with wildness, so, in the glory that is Bristol and the Gateway to the West, what would your walking and hiking recommendations be for Nige? Where would you point him, and say: off you go, Nige (and have a (re)think about that 4231 while you're out there)? There is much to choose from, what with The Mendips, the Quantocks, Exmoor, the coastline, the Fishponds Road on a Friday night ..... Your favourite walks, please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Alligator Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'd suggest a walk across the suspension bridge, taking Joey Barton and a large piece of elastic with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I find walking through the half mile tunnel on feeder road a uplifting experience Or up the hartcliffe way drunk, its like route 66, goes on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rag Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 A walk along the river Barle. Over the bridge then back into Dulverton for a beer and baguette in the Bridge Inn. Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Did I hear that he has an abode in Devon? Unfortunately, Julia ******* Bradbury has revealed several of my personal favourites which means millions will be descending on them this Summer, but still have some left in South and East Devon if he wants to be told how to ‘fix’ Bristol City. Actually, Bradbury has joined a long list of ‘grassers’ from the national media giving away our local secrets. But just for everyone’s benefit ........ Bryher Camp Site on the Scilly Isles was misreported in the Daily Telegraph as being the best camp site in Britain. It’s, in fact, awful. Noisy, smelly and views on the local sewage works. Poly Joke, somehow was reported in the Daily Mirror, as being the best secret beach in the UK. Actually it is always packed with Brummies, ice cream vans, knee high litter and surrounded by Butlins. Fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Just got back with the dog from Ashton Court. Nice 7km walk.

Get the boat from one side to the other pop in to one of pubs for pint. The Orchard Inn is my favourite. Yep, I do the circuit at least once a week. Not exactly wild, but a good way for Nige to get the feel of Bristol and it's history if he can get into his stride through the many well-wishers. Seen Cotts more than once surveying the scene from his balcony and Kalas taking in the ambience of Gaol Ferry Steps amongst his fellow beardies. The Orchard's a good little pub, but I'd like to think he'd feel the urge to stop off at the Nova too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming that this might be a 'Whoosh' moment - I suspect a bit of mischief-making onyour part - but I remember going to Polly Joke many (25 years?) ago, and it was a delightful, unspoilt beach with relatively few tourists.
