I'd like to be open about the fact that I drove precisely 5 miles to the start of this walk, in contrast to my previous 'Doorstep Walks' during Lockdown. I didn't drive out of Weston-super-Mare and was under the false impression that we were 'allowed' to drive short distances to exercise... Then, I went on to walk away from my local area! After a solid month of staying very local to home, I don't want to be encouraging other people to start travelling wherever they like.

All that being said, this walk starts in Uphill, to the south-west corner of Weston-super-Mare. It picks up the West Mendip Way from its western end and follows it (mostly) out to Bleadon Hill.


I also filmed this one in 2.7k (I usually do 1080p) and at 30fps. Let me know what you think because it took an age to edit and upload! ;-) I'd have to upgrade my processor (and potentially the motherboard) before I'd consider filming another long video like this again.
