Out of the levels at last

Wednesday 8th August

After a really good and much needed sleep at the hostel, I woke a little after 7, breakfasted and packed my bag and after some route planning with the warden, I was on my way after 9am. 

I walked down through Street, where I brought yet more blister plasters and on to Glastonbury. Due to low lying cloud, I didn't walk up the Tor but once I was on the road out of the town, I had a great view of it.

I then took a road across the levels which seemed to go on forever! I then climbed up out of the levels and stopped for lunch where I had a great view of Wells.

 After a quick bite and some map checking, I continued and it wasn't long until I reached the lovely village of Croscombe where I stopped for a orange and lemonade. The landlords were very chatty and made me very welcome and after telling them the story of my walk, offered a £5.00 donation. Thank you to The George Inn. 

I checked the map and I only had about 3-4 miles to go so I left the pub and slowly walked up the road towards Masebury Hill Fort. Once at the top, I had a maginificant view of Somerset including Glastonbury Tor. I enjoyed a chelsea bun and after a break, I walked back down off the fort into Binega where I stopped for the evening.
