On the first day post-Lockdown 3.0, I drove a short distance to the top of Bleadon Hill and resumed my walking along the West Mendip Way. This leg would take in Crook Peak, Wavering Down and reach as far as Shipham, before looping back across countryside via Winscombe and the outskirts of Banwell. About 15 miles all in.
My next walk along the Mendip Way will pick up the path in Shipham and probably head out to Draycott before heading back through Cheddar.
