On leaving Street we were beckoned onwards by the magnificent view of Glastonbury Tor, it would appear Glastonbury was the first site of christianity in Britain. We skirted between the Tor and the town which looked a thriving community made up of limestone buildings and independent shops.
Moving across into the Mendip Hills we walked an old Roman road which eventually after 12 miles took us right to the front door of Wells Cathedral and its moated Palace, it looked truly superb in the mid day sun. Again we wished we could have tarried a while however we needed to push on to meet John at East Horrington for a late lunch.
We approached this by walking along a great cycle way which bypassed the outlying area of Wells and across the Great Wells Golf Links which were heavily in use on this beautiful day.
Still moving across the Mendip Hills after lunch we followed Bath Road to a small village approximately 2 miles from Midsummer Norton where John had arranged for us to camp for the evening.
The campsite Old Down Touring Park kindly sponsored our camp so the money goes to our chosen Charity Support Dogs.
Thank you to John for trailing round after us all week and supporting us, our old crew member Chris will be joining us on Friday evening when we arrive in Bath.

I hope you are getting all this on your video diary, we look forward to seeing it. Another thing you need to get a move on because you are getting "DEVONIZED" (is there such a word). What with "Cowage" and wanting to "Tarried for a while", next thing you will have a straw hat and singing "I've got a combined harvester", that is, if you haven't already done so.
Were there any murders??? You should stop off at Bath champ show!! x
