Description:
Left Porlock Weir at 10.30am on bicycles. Bicycles locked to post on promenade. Photo at start. Started walking at 11:30am from Minehead. Lunch on bench at cross paths north of Bossington Hill 13:30-14:00. Followed path into and out of Bossington. Hard work walking on large stones along miles of beach, reminded me of Chesil Beach. Feet wet where large stream flowed into sea. Nowhere to cross. Single breached due to winter storms. Finish Porlock Weir at 15:30. Pint of cider in Ship Inn - excellent half hour watching world go by.
