Cheddar Big Circular Hike, Part III, 'A Diversion Thru Ellick Farm Clay Pigeon Shoot'by Sheila, Aug

Heavy rain recently caused part of the West Mendip Way to be quite flooded and very muddy in a section close to the AONB near a junction point of 2 stiles---normally I would have taken  the stile into a field and then just walked up to a gate and then entered the AONB but on this occasion my curiosity won and I decided to climb over  the other stile and a route which I had always wanted to explore---There is no time restrictions, no bus to catch  and the weather is great--SO off I jolly well go--I actually follow a defined path but which leads me to a clay pigeon shoot area which was not in operation on this day--thank goodness---but I still have no idea where this will go BUT I am aware that the AONB isn't that far away---I did not video this section but wish I had for posterity because  I doubt very much that I will ever need to go this way again---all turns out well in the end--I encounter no cows or horses after having to climb over at least 3 locked gates----not  really a well used route but one of Sheila's Diversions---all part of the fun though....
