Will be clearing the Axe footpath on Tuesday morning 8th September meet in the car park near Bridge Garage at 10.30 risk assessment will be completed and tools and protective equipment supplied. This is a beautiful walk that has been closed for a while and we want to restore it for all to enjoy. It is walk able at the moment but lets give it a new lease of life and make it even more accessible anyone wishing to help is welcome if we have moved on and working follow the sound of the strimmers and find us. If it is inclement weather we will not be there ....it is voluntary

Bleadon Natural History Walk/Talk Wanted
I am the Chairman of Weston-super-Mare Archaeological & Natural History Society. In the past we have had a Natural History Secretary who would devise and lead walks for our members. Currently we are unable to fill this post, and I am trying to organise about 3 walks, the first one to take place in November, anywhere in the North Somerset area, and the Bleadon area would be interesting.

Please enjoy walking all our public footpaths and rights of way and report any problems with access or maintenance.
More information details via these pages PROW http://www.bleadon.org.uk/prow.html and WALKS http://www.bleadon.org.uk/walksandwildlife.html
A good day on friday saw the footpath recut in places and is now easily walkable a big thankyou to all helpers and to Bill Hewitt who after fridays session on the strimmer could not hold his pint as his hand was cramping, needless to say he got around the problem
The walk is now very accessable and I would encourage all walkers to use it, it is a beautiful walk along the River Axe with Swans and wildlife abundant the more who use it the easier it will be to maintain. It appears not many know of the footpath being open again as it was closed for so long so please promote it. It runs from virtually opposite The Sluice by Bridge Garage on the A370 to the caravan park and beyond for those who use OS it is footpath AX6/14 also known locally as the Withy Walk.

UPDATE: Completed the footpath today with Bill in places we had to recut the path it looks very good now and we would encourage villages to use it as this will keep it clear many thanks to all helpers some before and after photos
