First night in my new tent. It rained all night the tent and roll mat worked really well. Still annoyed at the £25, out at 9, onlya few 100 metres and there were great location to wild camp.

Had to touch the trig point on middle hope. But the path to the priory was a private road. The gate was open and so chanced it as the way back was too long a detour . Yep I was caught, but the guy understood, embarrassing saw my map was out of date. Advised on a possible short cut using the to be opened English Coastal Path but I will have to get over a wired fence. It was bardwire and 8ft high. The ruck sack was too heavy to throw over. The route now took me over the M5 to Hewish. Then disaster, to get across the M5 through a field of inquisitive, threatening, cows and the path under the motorway was knee deep in water, and, the steps to the out was blocked by bramble that ripped my attachment off my ruck sack. Then had to dig down to get the power unit back.

Then the Camping and Caravan Club Site, which usually charge £9 charged me £25. Day miles 10, project total 1176.
