Maurice's Pub Walk
Maurice (Spirit Health Club & FOSH Member) had a great turn out for his local pub walk he organised during the August Bank Holiday.
The Walk was 4 miles long through open country, woodland & along the banks of the river Avon, the weather was perfect. Once the walk is completed, back at the Chequers pub there was live music, BBQ and a real ale festival. (what a prefect way to end a country walk!)
Show your support for Maurice at his next walk, All Spirit Health Club Bristol members, Family & Friends are Welcome!
