Mendip Challenge – Walks With Olly

Month in Review: June 2021

Because it’s never too late when you’re already let and cannot reverse the flow of time… Let’s take a look back at the month that was June and see how much I can recall!

Walking the 30 mile Mendip Challenge (June 2021)

My experience of walking the full 30 mile Mendip Challenge in June 2021. This would be my seventh year, but with a few subtle changes to the route.

Sunday 6th June 2021

Having missed out in 2020 due to the pandemic, I was pleased to be able to take part in the Mendip Challenge for the seventh time. Last year, Weston Hospicecare did organise and host a lesser ‘Mini Mendip’ event… But to be honest, I didn’t have the greatest of interest in that one and was keen to defer my entry until this year.

Month in Review: April 2021

With the passing of April comes the imminent arrival of summer… Right?

West Mendip Way: Bleadon Hill to Shipham

My second circular walk in a series that aims to cover the 30 mile West Mendip Way.

Monday 29th March 2021

Let’s get the L-word out of the way – this was my first walk in the wake of Lockdown 3.0. One the very day in which some restrictions were officially relaxed. Again.

I’d decided to keep it fairly local; keeping to the Mendip Hills. I would return to walk another leg of the West Mendip Way.
