The keen – and not so keen – eyed amongst you may have noticed that this post is scant on commentary and extra photos. I had a power issue (my plug socket broke) and so I was unable to charge anything for a few days, this meant I had to conserve my phone battery and hence blogging fell by the wayside. Even though I had a day off yesterday the thought of trying to catchup was, I admit, a bit daunting and so I’ve decided to leave it at this and start again from today. I can always come back and update it – I have a written diary and so the memories will not be lost.
In summary; Quantocks great, Somerset Levels not so fun, a visit from more lovely people who cheered me up, some nice sun, some nasty rain, many motorways (M5 walkway over the Avon, a couple of footbridges, then M48 walkway over the Severn and Wye), Welsh borders green and pleasant, and 300th mile completed!

I enjoy a good walk and so I decided to go on quite a long walk from Lands End to John O'Groats this summer. You'll be able to keep up with my progress through this blog. View all posts by lhwood1
