There's also the Severn Bridge parkrun in the middle of that - well, if you do your route on a Saturday morning of course


I think I'd prefer to do it mid-week - I've run the Severn Bridge 5 mile Night Run a couple of times, so the parkrun wouldn't be that novel and the train times don't really work for a parkrun start. I'm after more of an 'away-day.' (Can you tell that I've been sitting on the sofa all afternoon feeling full of cold, watching the rain outside and wanting to plan some nice summery activities!)

That sounds interesting LD and doable and mid week would suit me.

We'll have to make a date for sometime in the summer WP, that would be great!

About This Thread

Maintained by ♪♫ Synge ♪♫
For discussion of the Bristol Bridges Walk. As at 2021, the full route visits 45 bridges in a distance of 45km. There is a reference page maintained by Bristol Civic Society (see link below) and there is also a handbook which can be purchased through that page or on Amazon: Jeff Lucas's "From Brycgstowe to Bristol in 45 Bridges" published by Bristol Books.

The route includes a large loop of around 20km down the River Avon to take in the M5 motorway bridge at Avonmouth and one other, so it should be possible to devise a route which excludes these and offers 43 bridges within around 25km. Sounds like an idea for a run ...
