Day 46 – Portishead to Clevedon

Distance: 6.8km

Steps:1,58

I’m having trouble pasting images to this blog. Script is all settled and the images are ready but the blog page drops out when the images are added?

Note. It’s actually more like 12 km from Portishead to Clevedon but we were lucky enough to get a lift part way there from a nice lady belonging to the URC church in Redcliffe Bay

We were lethargic getting going today. Perhaps due to the continuous rain storms outside but also I think that I over did it a bit yesterday ☹️

We set out from Portishead, gone 10:00am, heading west, uphill toward the sea! I trusted my bearing (300) and Jezabel took over navigation, using her IPhone but the uphill component was counter intuitive for me.

But we stuck with it and soon reached the Windmill pub, by the Fishermen’s Steps on Mariner’s Path. The England Coast Path follows the Mariner’s Path here and we found ourselves sliding sideways and skating about on this winding muddy path .Jezabel commented “storms a brewing” as we approached a sailing club and within a couple of minutes we were inadequately sheltering from a downpour with only a 6” door lintel between us and heavy rain. It was’t making the path any easier so we set out for the main road and potentially a bus 🚍 but thre was no timetable, only a poster offing an out-of-date phone number. We walked on and decided to stop for a cuppa the URC church cafe. From where we got a lift for the last 5 km to the Walton Park hotel, our accommodation for tonight.
