Despite the miserable weather walkers were still able to enjoy beautiful countryside, scenic riverside views and historic city centre sights.
Josie named Meningitis UK as her chosen charity for 2012. In March she threw a bash for 150 of her fans known as her "muckers", at the Almondsbury Sports and Social Club to support the charity's pioneering vaccine research.
She said: "When I was asked to name my charity of the year Meningitis UK was the obvious choice. I want to help to raise money to support the work they do to try to prevent other people suffering at the hands of this disease in the future."
