 224 | Saturday | First run of this route, all new up Hawkers Lane (have not even walked or driven up there in my 23 plus years in Wells!), onto Bath Road again, then almost certainly the first time in this direction along Furzy Sleight and the Lyatt (despite having been in the normal direction probably hundreds of times - felt strange). Chilly and breezy, bright and sunny with some cloudy periods when it was cold. Slab House Inn has just gone bust (according to Wells Journal this week). Very slow, very tired at the end. Mellow run though, some really good new parts, good for the soul at this time of year.
