After eating breakfast with three Germans who were on tour of the west country, I set out on my last day on the road to Bath. I travelled along quiet lanes until I reached the busy town of Midsummer Norton. Whilst there I needed to use the toilet and eventually found one near the Town hall. This however was not ordinary toilet and require 20p in order to enter it. The door opened like a spaceship's air lock and closed leaving me in a small dark chamber. It was a very strange experience and I was glad to see an emergency red button should I get stuck!! I only hoped there would be someone there if I needed to press it. I eventually escaped and headed to the rolling hills around Bath.The day grew warm and I found a small tea room where I had a pot of tea and a sandwich before setting off again. The lanes descend into deep river valleys as you get closer to Bath and I eventually came to Pennsylvania farm where Alison and I were staying. I had a shower and reflected on a job well done! As a post script, when we got home on the Sunday I decided to walk down to the town to get some milk. I had not walked more that half a mile when my left foot that I had twisted when I fell off the style a few days before really hurt. I managed to limp back home. It is still giving me trouble so it is off to the doctors this week to get it checked out!
