Wells to Clutton (8 miles from Bath)

Weather today: Stiff easterly wind on hills, calmer at low levels. Still pretty cold.

Daily Miles Covered: 13.1

Total Miles Covered: 250.3

Things of Interest: Mendip Hills

Personal Comments: Onwards and upwards once more. Left Wells with the cathederal bells peeling our departure! On towards Wookey Hole (famous for holes in the ground and caves apparently),and then a steep, steep climb up onto the Mendips. The views from here would normally be spectacular but we encountered very misty conditions but still enjoyed being up there - away from everybody!!
We picked up the 'Monach's Way' which took us further on through this sizeable county with the help of the 'Limestone Link Way' which took us to our final destination of the day which is a place called Clutton, 8 miles or so from Bath.
Rest day tomorrow to catch up on washing and re-stocking for our continuing journey from Tuesday onwards.
Don't let anybody tell you that the UK is small - believe me, it is an enormous place!
Watch this space!
