A great hike ahead and good weather, light wind, blue sky and puffy white clouds.I have so missed this walk but Hooray for the 126--the bus is back--hooray !!!!! But I soon realize what I was missing the steep climb out of the village heading for Draycott Sleights--a rocky outcrop with magnificent views over the Vale of Avalon and the Somerset Levels--so blessed despite huffing and puffing uphill---well worth  the climb--I have  walked here many times, videoed and taken many photos over the years but each experience is different and so refreshing----I really missed  being unable to get here  by bus---that bus is a lifeline for many people--vital for many --many do not have a vehicle and the bus is an enabler...This is an issue for  1000s in rural areas all over  the place--
