Route Learning on the S & D
Colin Burges
Colin, with the aid of his bicycle explores what can be found of the Somerset and Dorset towards the eastern end.  If you're fit enough, as Colin most certainly is, a bike is an ideal and only practical transport.  Colin covered 51 miles on his jaunt. A few of the remains he found are shown below - for full details of his exploits please click here for 'Colins Section' , and scroll down.
