Beacon Batch exploration

Did a great run today in bright winter sunshine. Four miles around Beacon Batch in the Mendips. I must have walked around there when I first came to Bristol but haven't been there since. With the grandparents staying for a few days Dave and I grabbed our chance to leave the kids for a couple of hours and ventured off for an explorative run. Straight up the hill to the high point, across the top and then down through the woods. The views across to Bristol and Blagdon Lake were amazing. Makes you really appreciate that we live in a beautiful part of the country.

There were lots of people around taking a Sunday afternoon stroll. I will have to go back there with the girls. No doubt there will be a bit of grumbling with the hill, but plenty of rocks to scramble over and a handy pub nearby.
