Summer is just around the corner. Which corner is for much debate. So here we are in late summer and the heavens have opened. We are 2 miles into our 6-7 mile walk and sheltering under an umbrella, just to the south of the famous Shute Shelve Tunnel. Where you ask? Well the Shute Shelve Tunnel is a 165 m long tunnel which formerly transported the Cheddar Valley Railway from Yatton to Shepton Mallett. Long since disused it now hosts walkers and cyclists along the Strawberry Line. Such as ourselves on this blustery and wet day in August. Good job I had my umbrella then (which started to fall apart mid way) and that at our half way point we were forced out of the rain and into the Almshouse Cafe in Axbridge. Following a tuna sandwich (her) and Moroccan chicken salad (him) we retraced our soggy steps back to Sandford. Despite the rain, it was a great day to be out over this weekend of gales and rain. I like summers like this.
