At Last for real I am walking  on the top of Cheddar Gorge on the North side---its been 10 months --the 126 bus was cancelled in October 2023 and  there is no proper link to Cheddar unless by an expensive Taxi from Winscombe after travelling on the 51bus from WSM---Or a 2 hour walk from Winscombe near the Axbridge reservoir--or pot luck with a  Westlink bus from WSM to Axbridge and then  a wait for another bus to Cheddar--In my case I had to wait  45 mins for a connection--good job it was not raining or freezing....Bring back the  reliable 126 bus  !!!!!!!Many people do not have their own trans[port--young and old, disabled, students and visitors...Cancelling the 126 was a huge mistake.....On my return journey ina day or so I would have to get a taxi to Winscombe and then a 51 bus back home.....and carrying all my camping stuff as well aged 71...
But  I wa so happy to do some walks again here on the Mendip Hills- A PLACE i VISITED OFTEN EVERY WEEK------no longer--fingers crossed these councillors will do their job and bring back the much appreciated 126....

That's enough of bus talk for now --on with the hike
