Onto the Somerset Levels and heading for Bridgwater after our stay at Huntstile.
Some of the stiles have been difficult- the picture shows a collapsed bridge we had to get over!
Found Morrisons and met up with Sheila's niece Emma, her husband Richard and daughter Grace. They kindly offered to put us up after we finished the days walk and took our bags so we travelled light; Barney (and us!) was very pleased!
Cows are now a problem-we had to re route rapidly at one point!
After Richard and Grace picked us up we were taken on a tour of the levels around their village - the whole area was affected by the floods and we saw the bridge which featured on the tv reports.
Another lovely evening - we're being spoiled!
Our Flat Coat Retriever Barney is walking the length of Great Britain with us starting 27th March 2015. The route is from Land's End to John O'Groats and is approx. 1400 miles / 2500km mostly off-road and will take about 4 months. We are doing it for fun but Barney has a mission - to collect money for Guide Dogs! Help him along the way - just click the donations tab to find out how...

ReplyDeleteA whole month down already - I can hardly believe it. You must be well into it by now. It looks as though the weather has picked up for you now. I'm glad of that. It can only get better from now on - unlike here where we're back to winter. We've evn got snow!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seem like a month for the-stay-at -homes like me but I bet you three have gone feral and feel as if you have always been on the road!
