I left Edwin by Sir Bevill’s monument and continued on for my last 7.4 miles. There were fine views until it began to rain.
A golf course, the racecourse and a last hill fort were passed until I came to Prospect Stile. From here it was a long slow
descent to the Bath suburb of Weston and then my last steep climb to the hill above Bath. I passed my last golf course at
High Common and had lunch in Victoria Park. Here the dampness turned to real rain but I went on past Royal Crescent,
the Circus and the Roman Baths to be greeted by Edwin at the West Door of Bath Abbey having completed this year’s
personal challenge.
