Wedmore

On our first day we decided to take it easy and just walk around the surrounding countryside. We first walked to Mark, bought sandwiches from the local shop/post office and asked for bus timetables but they did not have any left. They receive a handful of them for the whole year! From Mark we went to Wedmore via narrow countryside lanes and this was quite a pleasant walk.



In Wedmore we tried another Post Office, then the paper shop and again, asked for bus timetables, request at which they laughed: "bus timetables??? you'll be lucky if you find a bus at all!!!", was their answer. Realising we were getting short of cash, we asked for the nearest cashpoint: re-laugh "cashpoint? you guys have just arrived here, haven't you?". We tried the bank, which closes at 2.30pm. At this point we were pretty tired: we had probably walked at least 8 miles so decided to head off for a pub, or rather the pub, as only one was open. Trave went back to the papershop to buy a paper and realised that THERE WAS a cash point inside!!!! Had we been subject to some sort of joke???


Walking back towards the campsite and thinking of the 5 or 6 miles ahead of us our saviour Colin suddenly and magically appeared and gave us a lift back to Splott Farm.

Saved again!
