I wasn’t expecting too much from today as I was going to be walking through the industrial heartland of Avonmouth and the tidal defence work between the Severn bridges would keep me away from the River Severn.I followed a cycleway along a disused railway line and was surprised and thrilled to be accompanied by a…

The day started well when I met Vix and the other cold water swimmers at Clevedon pool. A cup of tea and cheese sandwiches for the walk. What’s not too like.Then it was a steady walk to Portishead working my way through wooded and bracken edged paths on the edge of the Severn.I even had…

Today was just a simple walk from Weston Super Mare to Clevedon. The sea was going to fade away and I’d be walking home along the river Severn.But first I had to walk to Sandy Bay where I would meet a TV crew to be interviewed for BBC Points West. As I walked the sun…

There will be a two minute item on me on BBC Points West at 6:30pm today. I hope you enjoy it!!

I am starting today from Weston Super Mare and after being interviewed by BBC Points West Television I will be heading North towards Clevedon.Unfortunately the path along the coast in this section is being repaired and much of it is closed.I will be making my own way so where I will be at any time…

I packed my tent up on a sunny morning and set off on the walk to Bridgewater. I had a goodly supply of snacks with me as there were no cafes on route as it was a walk alongside the river Parrett.I had to by pass the wildfowl reserve near Steart point in order not…

Watchet has a small harbour with several statues including one to Derek the goose who lived their for a while. Derek was mis pronouned as ‘he’ was actually female.I then made my way around the rocky beach at Helwell bay thankful it was low tide. Then I found some lovely waterfalls coming off the cliffs…

After a couple of day R and R in Minehead I was back on the road again albeit a short walk of eight miles to Watchet.I was met and accompanied by Andy, who I used to work with.The path was beautifully waymarked and easy to follow which is always a good thing.The path kept close…
