A quick last look at the map in Holford Car park | |
And Richard and Di are ready for us all to go | |
We head up the valley | |
The contrast of the purple heather and yellow gorse is beautiful | |
The scenery is stunning at the top of the Quantocks | |
Our back marker doing an excellent job | |
Seems happy as well | |
Flaunting his Ramblers badge | |
The angle of the trees shows how windy it can be up here. | |
We admire the view though it's rather damp | |
We pose for a final group photo* | |
The mist in the foreground and the steam from the steam train in the background | |
It's lovely up here | |
Richard poses with the Bicknoller Post (That's Richard on the left!) | |
Cattle in the heather | |
And sheep | |
The paths flowing like levadas after the rain | |
Hinkley Point in the distance | |
Dave identifies Fly Agaric | |
We descend to the rather unattractive hamlet of Alfoxton | |
But we can still see across the channel | |
A disused tennis court | |
Deer in the deer farm | |
We reach the dog pound so we know we're almost back to Holford. |
