This was my first walk after the local introduction of "Tier 3" restrictions for North Somerset. I drove up to the Mendip Hills and set off on a circular walk that would remain within my county - not once crossing over in to Somerset or BaNES (Bath and North East Somerset) - both of which were in "Tier 2" at the time.

Dolebury Warren is probably my favourite Iron Age hillfort in the local area. Plotting this route was a bit tricky, as I couldn't allow myself to go to places like Rowberrow Warren or up on to Black Down. I know that different people have their own take on 'what's allowed' but I'm doing it my way. Following what I believe to be right.

I hope you all have as good a Christmas as possible this year - where it's allowed - and that we all stay well and active with all that's going wrong in the world.
