Here we go folks as I progress further up the West Mendip Way on my hike from Winscombe to Cheddar Gorge---a good day weather wise--blue skies, fluffy white clouds and lambs and daffodils on route.This ancient track is very prone to mud filled trenches this time of year but some repair work to the track  has helped over the post few months but it won't take long for deep trenches to carve into the track filling with water and mud---I do have to do some balancing acts as I negotiate  very narrow ledges and brambles that still appear here..........All part of the fun of hiking in the Somerset countryside----The West Mendip Way is pilgrim route to Wells cathedral and in the past I have trekked the whole 22 miles cross country from WSM as it twists and turns, goes up and down weaving its way.Today I encounter its path a few times here and there---Some cattle are out and about grazing and new Spring lambs skipping close to their mothers...Yes a gorgeous day--fresh air and peace......
