Draycott Sleights To Cheddar Gorge Walk, Part VIII
Channel: semw52
Date: 2021-10-10

Another unexplored route to descend the Gorge--a grassy safer route with residential Cheddar Goats wandering in the long grasses---Earlier this year I have walked on the Gorge Cliff Tops on several occasions but today I thought I would wander  off track slightly---this ran parallel to the main cliff top tracks but with diminished views of the fantastic geology---I was happy to descend this softer route--kinder on the feet and bones after along walk--no need to guard ones feet constantly to prevent slipping and sliding and landing on very hard rocky stones ---I have in the past  slopped--lost my footing especially in wet conditions---the stones are well worm by 1000s of feet and do become quite polished and hence slippery---but I do rejoin the main track after a while on route to Jacob's ladder and Tower-----It has been a lovely walk today--sunny with blue skies and magnificent views......
