Just like last year the West Mendip Signs disappear when I emerge from the small wood--last year I got lost and ended up in a private farm and stable where a kind farmer gave me directions. And again NO SIGNS--I decide to take a left and follow a fence until I reach a stile which takes me into a residential area where I pick up the lane leading out of Shipham---BUT somewhere in 'Gruffy field' the WMW does pass----later more poor signposting when I come to a fork with signs showing me to go left or right---at first I chose right and then realized this would probably take me back to the ' Gruffy Field' so I take the left fork and  yes I am now on track. Gruffy field is the after effect of  vigorous mining in the past  for calamine --there is a lot of local history on Shipham and Rowberrow mining and their communities---with some descendant families still living in the area...Apologies for the poor images  during the final part of the video---once again I left the camera on ZOOM but this did reflect the confusion of no signs...
