Overview

We meet at the Clifton end of the Suspension Bridge by 7.55. Please note that the initial route does not cross the Suspension Bridge so everyone needs to meet at the start. As usual there is a complicated route around the North Somerset countryside. There will be a pub stop at Easton-in-Gordano. For the first time the exact time of the winter solstice occurs while we are walking and at 3.05 pm we shall pause to acknowledge this celestial event.
