A maximum of fourteen at a time may join this almost five mile walk through some of the prettiest countryside south of South Petherton. The walk is mainly foot paths and farm tracks and skirts the Roman road, 'Fosse Way' until Dinnington Docks is reached. There are many milking Cows and lots and lots of mud and slurry on the way, so this is not for the feint hearted. Care needs to be taken, especially if you have a dog. The paths are fairly level but somewhat rough going. From Dinnington through to Seavington can get very wet and mucky under foot. There is a mixture of Stiles, Kissing,and Bristol Gates. Should the Nippy Bus be late in picking us up, there is a small amount of road walking that will take us to the Volunteer in Seavington St Michael, where at least we may wait in comfort.
We are required to advise Nippy of numbers travelling. Please contact us you would like to be included. Car share may be possible for those who cannot find a seat on the bus.
Adult fares are approximately £4.90 return, Over 60? Free Bus passes do apply.
Boots always advisable, wellies if the previous days have been wet.
