Walking to Watchet
Thursday 24th August 2023
Woke up in the Quantock Hills, had a simple breakfast on a hilltop watching the sunrise, then walked from there to Watchet where I had a second breakfast. Then got the bus to Taunton, and the train back to London.

I had found a bit more of an out of the way spot to sleep the night, as the hilltop had been quite popular the night before.

I awoke in time for sunrise and walked back up the hill to see what there was to see of it.

Back on the hill now. A bit cloudy so not the most dramatic sunrise, but at least a bit of colour in the sky.
