Cheddar December2009 Before the Snow!

We did a short walk from the hostel and then went to Street and to the RSPB reserve at Ham Wall to see the starlings coming down to roost over the Somerset levels. Beautiful clear (cold) evening with thousands of birds flying in with the sunset as a backdrop, we all agreed definitely worth doing!





Some of us visited the local pubs, good food, variety of real ale, atmosphere and on Saturday night a Skiffle band.


Of course on Sunday we had to walk to the top of Cheddar Gorge

A bit of Somerset Countryside

There are goats in the Gorge

A starling murmeration against the sunset

To see more photos of our trip look at the Cheddar folder in the bogtrotters photos + many more of our various trips.
Those of us who went would like to thank the members of St. Albans for organising this trip - we were made to feel very welcome - and hope some of their group will join us on one in due course (or perhaps we can do a joint walk when we can find a suitable date in both groups Programmes).
