Summer walks

Walking this summer has taken us to Wells, where the Cathedral has a walled garden. The figures on the west front of the Cathedral are reminiscent of Santiago.

Then a walk up Cheddar Gorge, which has to be on the road, returning by the same route. Walking on the sand dunes was good training too as it seemed that for every step forward we slipped half a step back.

Our most energetic walk was the walk on Brean Head (twice) doing the circular route on the second occasion. The steps to the start are so steep that they zig-zag up the hill. Then a good walk out to the headland, down past the old fort and back round to descend finally by a track back to the car park.
