Walk 1 – Pucklechurch

6 October 2002

It seems as though the path through the brickworks has been diverted, so on page 10, first paragraph, no read 'The lane turns left after 100 metres, follow it passing the remains of Shortwood Brickworks on your right. When you reach metal barriers and a cross-path, turn right, you are now walking on the Bristol to Bath Railway Path.'

In the third paragraph therefore, where the path forks, keep right, passing the (now redundant) stile on your right.

A number of small changes to the narrative to report:
Just after the start, the 17th century Moat farm is now a housing estate.
Between Points D & E, Shortwood House has been demolished.
Point F is now easy to locate as there is a 'Dramway Footpath' sign at the right turn. After climbing the stile and going
through the wood to the two stiles, the left hand one has been replaced by a kissing gate through which you pass.

How things have changed in the past 10 years. As well as the diversions and demolitions listed above, at Point D where you "emerge from woodland into a meadow", the meadow has been replaced by a large and rather smelly landfill site. Now, at the edge of the wood, head left and climb a stile onto path alongside the landfill site. Keeping the landfill on your right, walk down a wide gravelled path to the metalled lane (now with a bund hiding further excavations ahead). Turn right and follow the lane, soon bearing left and on to the railway path.
