Retracing my steps for the first section of this video and then I pass thru a gate and make my way along a small grassy track towards a minor road that links Porlock and Porlock Weir---although a quiet country lane it was quite busy with cars and visitors  so care had to be taken---no pavement and very little space to ' get out of the way of passing vehicles'--no real signposting here for an alternative public footpath or bridleway after leaving the grassy lane--which was a surprise--so with no choice I kept alert and did reach Porlock in about 15 minutes road walking and uphill---I always avoid roads if I can so was surprised that there was no pathway considering it is in the Summer a busy place for visitors and holiday makers...I was aware of a wood walk and 'The Coleridge Way'but never discovered this on Day 1---On Day 4 I do find an adventure through the local woods to Porlock Weir and further  on to Culbone church....
