Day 5 Glastonbury to Stratton-on-the Fosse 15miles

Jon and I met at the car park on an overcast morning that had potential! Heading out through the suburbs of Glastonbury we passed the time identifying various trees and shrubs. Urban life gradually changed to countryside as we took the long straight road across the levels to Launcherly. As we reached there, the landscape changed rapidly and the Mendip hills began, giving a good view back from where we had come. We only managed to get lost once and were joined by some friendly cows as we found our way back onto the right footpath. At 2pm we had made good progress and had lunch at Dinder. The locals were friendly and after lunch we headed on the few remaining miles to Stratton-on -the Fosse. It was during these few remaining miles I made a bad mistake through lack of concentration.A friend of ours had phoned to see how we were and Jon had passed the phone to me.Whilst getting over a high stile I lost my balance and fell backwards. In doing so I twisted my left ankle and cut my arm. Thankfully my backpack broke some of my fall and only my pride seemed really hurt! Eventually we arrived at Statton -on- the-Fosse and looked around Downside Abbey. At 4.30pm Jon caught the bus back to Glastonbury and I headed for my B and B.Only one days walking left and I would meet up with Alison again in Bath.
