Somerset Intergroup Dodeca-Trek Spiritual Walk May 19-20th 2018 Price:- FREE to all
This splendid 30 mile walk along the “West Mendip Way” takes you through the beautiful Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty from Wells to Uphill over two days walking leisurely 15 mile per day.
We start in Wells by the impressive cathedral on Saturday 19th of May 2018 at 9.00am and head west towards Cheddar passing the show caves and paper mill at Wookey Hole and the wonderful limestone nature reserve at Ebbor Gorge. The route continues through Rodney Stoke National Nature Reserve and Draycott Sleights Nature Reserve before coming to the spectacular Cheddar Gorge, voted the second greatest natural wonder in Britain.
Here we will stay overnight at the Petruth Paddock free range campsite to charge the batteries with an open air AA meeting, food, and make new friends of like minded fellowship people from around the UK. Fellowship visitors who are unable to walk for one reason or another can attend and be part of the gathering in the evening.
The next stage takes us through the lovely countryside at Compton Bishop before climbing across Wavering Down to Crook Peak where there are splendid views towards the coast. The final section sees you cross Bleadon Hill and finish by the wharf at Uphill on Weston Bay in Weston-Super-Mare.
Here we say good bye at the sea front and maybe enjoy an impromptu open air AA meeting up in the grounds of the Old Church of St Nicolas weather permitting.
In the spirit of unity and keeping it simple, Just turn up on the day and walk. Transport, booking the campsite, sustenance and well being is down to the responsibility of the walker.
