The beautiful thing about our hobby is that new and interesting opportunities are available to you, anywhere in the country.
Today, we agreed to drop our post Cat Fish and the Bottlemen gig going student back off at Bath University. He avoids a 2 hr 20 minute train ride, we get to explore another superb bit of Britain.
And as luck would have it, this months Country Walking Magazine has a route that starts from the University car park.
File under all round result.
We are barely out of the car park when we see our first signpost and know that route finding will not present a challenge. Good old National Trust.

Sham castle more than lives up to its name. Nice to know that people had delusions of grandeur, even in 1762. How his neighbours must have laughed at his one wall castle.
Through the Arch and nothing is there |
All that remains is to take the Student for his promised lunch. Parking in Bath is not the easiest, so we head for Freshford - reminding us of a another CW walk we completed three years ago.
The C16th Freshford Inn was as stunning as the walk - honey coloured stone exterior, stripped pine interior, great service and a chance to try a new beer.
