My TweetsKiller Cows: Killer Cows
Beverley’s story: knocked down by a cow
I could hear my partner shouting, “Get to your feet.”
Martin and Margaret: trampled by cows
I ended up with 6 broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and a 7cm deep tear to my liver.
Julia’s Story: scared for her life
I could hear the cow panting, see it snorting at me, see the ground move…

163am Severn Beach to Wales
Today I cross over the River Severn and walk into Wales. It will be an important milestone in my coastal trek. Continue reading
162pm Avonmouth to Severn Beach
I walk through the industrial landscape of Avonmouth, disappear down a secret tunnel in the undergrowth, and emerge on Severn Beach in glowing sunlight. Continue reading
162am Bristol to Avonmouth
I walk down the River Avon, along the Severn Way. I pass a mysterious station, dodge roaring traffic, walk past decaying wharves, and come across some wonderful graffiti. Continue reading
161c Clifton Suspension Bridge
I begin walking through the Avon Gorge and feel as if I’m walking in a tunnel. As yet I’ve had no view of the Clifton Bridge. Continue reading
161b Portishead to Pill, River Avon
The problem with walking along cycle paths is that they are usually very boring from a walking point of view. Continue reading
161a Portishead
What a surprise to find Portisbury Marina looking so attractive. I knew the old power station had been demolished, but was expecting an industrial complex or a decaying wasteland. Continue reading

159am Kewstoke to Clevedon
Why is it so difficult to walk to Clevedon? Motorways and rivers must be crossed. Footpaths let me down. I’m forced to abandon Plan A and Plan B.
Will Plan C succeed? Continue reading
158 Kewstoke, Sand Point and Middle Hope
I discover the unexpectedly beautiful Sand Point, on a peninsula called Middle Hope, a place of strange rocks and ancient remains. Continue reading
