SUMMER’S HERE and there are lots of
outdoor activities, many of them organised by the groups
which make up the South Bristol Riverscapes Initiative.
Saturday
19 June: Hartcliffe Millennium Green
Fun Day, from 12 noon until 4.00pm at the
Green, Bishport Avenue (opposite ‘The
Groves’ tower blocks). Always lots of
attractions and activities!
Sunday 20
June: The annual Malago Trek.
Start at the car park at ASDA, Bedminster, near
the store entrance, at 10.30am. This is a little
later than in previous years, because we will
make a fuller day of it, with our lunch stop in
Manor Woods Valley, to admire the meadow and the
new Meadow Interpretation board (see pages 2 and
3 of the Summer 2010 Newsletter). We’ll then continue, refreshed,
up Dundry Slopes. Plenty of buses back to the
start. Join in for all or part or the walk.
Sunday 25
July: Colliter’s Brook Trek.
Start at 10.00am at the CREATE Centre car park.
The brook winds its way through Ashton Vale and
its wildlife-rich wetlands, then onwards and
gently upwards into Hanging Hill Wood - our final
destination. The return journey can be done on
foot, or you can pick up the regular bus in
Ashton Vale. Local group members of the Friends
of Avon New Cut (FrANC) and the Ashton Vale
Heritage Group will give short, interesting talks
along the way. Bring water and a picnic to enjoy
in Hanging Hill Wood. Walk or catch a bus back
after lunch.
Wednesday
28 July: Himalayan Balsam Clearance
in Manor Woods Valley - for the third year (see Newsletter
83, Autumn 2009 or www.aiwf.org.uk).
Meet at the Bishopsworth Library entrance to
Manor Woods Valley at 10.00am, and please wear
long sleeves and trousers, Wellington boots or
other sturdy footwear. Gloves will be provided.
Please bring your own packed lunch and plenty of
water or other soft drink. We’ll finish at
1.00pm.
Thursday
12 August: A guided Herb Walk
will take place along the Avon New Cut. Meet at
Vauxhall bridge at 7.00pm.
Tuesday 19
October: Our Winter season of meetings
at St Peter’s Rooms restarts, with a speaker
from the Light Rail Transit Association.
