Day 4 Cullumpton to Lower Langford 57 miles
I set out this morning in a slight drizzle. It was hard to get going because I had seen Alison last night and was missing her. I headed out on the Taunton road and eventually got there as the sun peaked through at last. Tauntons' traffic system was a dice with death but after I left there, the run across the Somerset levels and wetlands was wonderful. After crossing the levels the Mendip hills came into view and I eventually reached Cheddar (of cheese fame) It was in this area at Burrington that Augustus Montague Toplady sheltered from a storm and got the idea for his hymn rock of ages. I them climbed over the edge of the mendips to Lower langford to my B and B. It was excellent and my bedroom had a spa bath that created lots of bubbles. I eased the pain away and went to the pub across the road. This morning when I was leaving she had packed me some flapjack,cake and a sandwich to see me through the day.
