Overview

The weather forecast for this weekend is for another 30C+ heatwave, combined with low winds (and expected from an atypical direction). We will take a slightly gentler route than usual to allow for this, starting from atop the Priddy plateau and heading mostly downhill during the morning to our lunch stop at Wells, where there are replenishment points for water, and ice cream for anyone in need of such. Our afternoon route will head towards Ebbor Gorge, and use shady tree-covered routes up to the top, from where we will walk gently back to the cars
