• Day 17 Cannington to Street

    June 5 in England ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Today was a long days walk (over 19 miles) so we set off early. There was a lot of lane walking today. A couple of hours after we set off we were in Bridgwater. We were just walking through industrial estates, shopping centres and housing. But we did manage to get breakfast in subway and I go myself an inflatable pillow from mountain warehouse, as I have been missing a pillow when camping. We left Bridgwater going over the M5. The walk then became far more rural, passing through some very nice villages. We arrived in Street earlier than we thought we would, there were only a couple of climbs in today’s walk (giving us good views of Glastonbury Tor) otherwise it was very flat easy walking. We had a walk along Street High St, which is very nice. Tonight we are staying at Hygge Somerset, this is a great place. We can use the kitchen, so we bought ourselves some meals from Sainsbury’s. Our host is really nice and the place is so comfortable.
    PS John Says 17 days is as far as we have ever walked in days before. 265 miles is 65 more than we have walked before.
