This morning after kippers and scrambled eggs for breakfast for a change, I was well set up for this mornings short walk. I set off from Porlock at 8.45am for the village of Bossington down a country lane and arrived there at 9.15 and then set off onwards for the climb up Bossington Hill which rises to nearly 1000 feet. This was quite a steep steady climb but I arrived at the top at 9.50am, and my bad leg responded best to this uphill climb which seems very strange to me. From the top, the path meanders slowly downhill passing Selworthy Beacon on the way. The walk today was mostly moorland. The path down into Minehead was mostly gentle but was downhill for over two miles - I was glad to be going the direction I was. I emerged from the wodland onto a flat path and walk and then past the little harbour of Minehead and then therte it was - the monument marking the start/ end of the journey! Almost opposite was a cafe where I went to sit down and sip tea until Jenny, Ralph and Terri arrived and we had some lunch together. Then some photographs and we set off for home at 2.30pm arriving back home at 5.30pm. So success at last. No walking tomorrow and I just need time for my knee to repair.
Distance walked today - 8 miles
