In doubtful weather we assembled in the Barn car park & decided we would do the original walk planned by Geoff & Wendy Moore. We set off for the 'Ring O' Bells' at Compton Martin, then up 'The Coombe' past the see-through statue of a woman sitting on an out-house roof to the steep, stony, muddy path leading up into the Mendips through the woods.

Eventually we came to a deer fence where we had to leave Geoff to wait for his dog which had found its own route, probably following a deer scent & was not responding to whistles.

We still had some way to climb up to farm buildings from where we could hear 'pop' music which we decided was a curious choice for milking cows!

On then along the ridge of the hills past fenced in nut trees one side and on the other, Dexter cattle & an excellent view of the lakes at Chew & Blagdon. By then Geoff & dog had re-joined us.
