Head for the hills at Churchill 31

A very reasonable day today, surprisingly warm and very little wind.  No rain in the forecast either.  Decided to head for the hills rather than stay on the Levels so the destination today is Churchill, a small village on the north side of the Mendip Hills.  Not going particularly high, about 360' from sea level but it will be a good workout for an Old Git!  Went out through Hutton and Banwell and took the back road through Churchill and turned right onto the A38.  More climbing before turning right again to Sanford and Winscombe.  


And the crowd mooed!

Leaving Winscombe, went out through Barton to find the road, albeit a minor one, was very muddy in places from farm machinery.  Half way along, these cows were staring over the fence so just had to take a photo.  Well, there wasn't much else out there today.


It was a fairly easy run back to Weston from Barton but as the mileage was a bit short of the planned 30, went down to the Pier before going home so ended up with 31 mile .
