Difficult drive up today in bad weather slow traffic on M5 still raining but managed to walk into town for a look about and some food. Got some lovely steak pies just need an oven fitting in the van now to cook them (the joys of getting old). Had a look on the notice board to see what’s going on (Confused?)

Up early this morning as we want to do the cheddar gorge cliff walk all the way round 2 hours. A bit muddy after yesterdays rain but a great walk lots of goats today when we got round to the steps it was too busy to go down so we came down the Mendip Way route through the woods.
Coffee stop not so good. Lunch then another short walk then a sit down before tea then an evening 1hour walk. Another good day.

Walk this morning up The Mendip Way to the top of Cheddar Gorge where we got caught in a rainstorm (BIG time) so wet ugh.
Managed to get down safely. Managed to see the goats but they had the best sheltered spots under the trees SOB SOB! came back down the 274 steps on The Jacobs Ladder again.
Must try to go up them tomorrow. Had another good walk this evening now all our clothes are dry.

Bad drive down due to rain, double speed wipers on the motorway 50mph and saw the worst caravan driver ever 70mph caravan rocking about overloaded and leaning. An easy afternoon.
Cycle into Chippenham for a walkabout and a coffee then back to the site for lunch then washed the van. Cycle up to the supermarket for some food then back to the site then out for a 40 min. run tea then an hour walk round the village a good day out.
