Overview

This is a walk based on an edited version of the Severn Bridges 10k run course but with added stops for carol singing. We won't be running! We will use backing tracks courtesy of Mr. Spotify.
We start at the Bandstand in the Quarry where we will sing our first carol then progress along the river, stopping under some of the bridges for another festive song. That way we stay dry if it is raining. There will be a relaxed coffee stop at either the House or Stop Cafe or a nearby bench if you prefer to bring your own.

There is no separate meeting point for this, we will all meet and start at the Bandstand.
