I emerge from the woodlands and begin to find my visual bearings---Other walks will take me towards Draycote Sleights but I decide to turn left  on my planned route and head along the top towards the Long Wood  and Velvet Bottom junction admiring the  autumn colors  all around  from the stunning woodlands surrounding Cheddar Gorge----fresh air galore and loads of oxygen--now my breathing has greatly improved  with a good bit of cardio vascular walking flushing my lungs----my imagination takes me back in history to the Romans, to the Victorians and the Iron Age folk---walking with the spirits of the past. and the stories that make our history so important--touching history with  my feet aware that this was not always a quiet peaceful and pollute free place--but bustling with miners, smelting works that would have blackened the skies and choked the wildlife, polluted the underwater streams and River Yeo deep below the ground----just luv it.
