This is a varied, level walk from Bathpool to Firepool Lock and then returning to our starting point. The actual route taken will depend on the weather and conditions underfoot on the day of the walk.

The aim is to walk along the towpath to Firepool Lock, and then onto Morrisons for a short break, with the intention of returning via the River Tone along the public footpath. However, if conditions underfoot prevent this, then we will return via the towpath.
