Personal Comments: We waved goodbye to The Crown Inn at Catcott, where once again we got mains hook up for van, and a free stay on the car park. A special mention for Steve Roby, who gave us a donation, bought us a pint, and paid for our meal, all in the name of Macmillan Cancer support, well done Steve.
As we left Moorlinch it was a grey day, a day you wouldn't want to go walking if you didn't need to! Along the A361 for a short while, until we came to a suitable path to take us away from this madness. Sanity returns as we progress through fields which technically are below sea level. With the wind making it hard work, we find ourselves again near to the A361, this time we bite the bullet and follow it to Glastonbury.
Once there we see people dressed rather strangely ( I should talk ) Druids, and Hippy types, ah well each to their own. Near the centre we see a sign to the "best fish and chip shop" in the southwest, so we have to go in and stoke up. We didn't linger, as it didn't feel right, maybe it was because the sun wasn't shining. Leaving the town uphill we once again we find the A361 briefly this time. Turning off it we walk northeastwards for a dead straight 3 k., with the evil wind still in our faces. Climbing slightly, we see our first glimpse of Wells cathederal, and what a magnificent building it is, this is our destination for the night. Once in Wells it is market day, so we stroll down the main street taking photos. I entertain the masses by going base over apex slipping on a drain, I landed on my back, good job I had a rucsac on. I hope the wind disappears for tomorrow.
