This group will also be a source of info on water related sport opportunities and natural phenomena. All skill levels are welcome and there will be a range of ability based events. The group will have a chilled social side too for getting together to have drinks/meals and planning.

Looking forward to having fun and getting out on the water with you!

Activities For The Extroverted Introvert

Bristol, B7

As an introvert I can find it difficult to meet new people but I also crave making the most of life and doing all kinds of activities, while hoping I'll build good connections along the way. Unfortunately my friends are useless for this stuff so I've made this group for likeminded people who want to get out there and experience anything from food to sporting events, to water sports activities and more.

Some examples include:
- Eating out
- Surfing / Kayaking
- Rock Climbing / Bouldering
- Track Days / Go Karting
- Theme Parks / Safaris
- UK Exploration / Holidays Abroad
- Assault Courses / Shooting Experiences
- Waterparks & anything water related!

As you can see many of the activities will incur a cost and some of them will be quite expensive whereas others will be cheap or free.

Finally let's have some fun and hope to meet many new faces :)

The Bath and Bristol RPG Meetup Group

Bristol, B7

Way back when in 2007 I came to the South West and noticed a lack of a website for Roleplayers to set up games and generally meet up with like minded folk. So I set up this meetup group. Its been a while and over 700 members later its been a bit of a success.. The ideas and reasons for this meetup are still the same, to meet like minded people who share the same hobby, to set up and run or play in games locally (and further as we have groups in Chippenham, the deepest darkest parts of the South West and even over in Wales) and when all else fails to just get together and have a drink or two and share those moments in games that are special to us. Hopefully this site will be the one for you, get on the message boards and ask to join games, set up new games or just come to a pub meetup to chat and meet the rest of us. Enjoy... Also if you're new, please tell us a bit about yourself. How often do you game? What games do you like? What area of Bristol are you from? What are you looking to find in the community? Just a quick link to our newish Discord channel https://discord.gg/W9zXTpzaqc come and join us....

Mountain Biking Bristol

Bristol, B7

A group intended to be a meeting point for riders who already have some experience, reasonable fitness and basic technical skills besides love for the sport as well as meeting others of similar interests.

Riding will happen more often around Ashton Court/ Leigh Woods but also in South Wales, Forest of Dean, North Wales and more.

Riders of different levels of fitness are welcome but there will be no 'family' rides, only grades BLUE and ABOVE (see bellow) will be organised. Our rides are not suitable for children!

We follow the grading system suggested by the mountain biking industry as described by the following sites:

http://www.mbwales.com/en/content/cms/Trail_Search/Trail_Grading/Trail_Grading.aspx

https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/knowledge/training/article/izn20130802-Mountain-bike-trail-centre-grades-0

In our own words:

• Blue - Regular pace with time to catch breath, challenging but guaranteed to raise a smile.

• Red - Steady pace, technical elements, reasonable distance/ duration.

• Black - Fast paced and very technical, and or long distance.

Important: this group hasn't got any intention of being or acting as a cycling club. It is simply a meeting place for people who want to ride in the company of other cyclists. Therefore it is important to understand that all riders must be responsible for their own health, safety and well being as well as being prepared for dealing with common situations typical of the activity like change in weather, mechanical problems, flat tyres, etc.Mountain Biking is a hard sport not free of risk and this group cannot be deemed responsible for the exacerbation of any medical condition as well as any crash or accidents that might occur during our rides.
