Selworthy Holiday 4th June 2017

The guide book said Porlock Weir to Culbone Church circuit was a gentle climb. However it didn't seem that way but we had all day. The climb up from Porlock Weir was mostly shady with views down to the sea before reaching the Church. The Sunday service was in progress and for those who were interested, the vicar was very welcoming. We climbed the hill and started looking for a lunch spot, just as the rain started. A lady in a B&B kindly let us use their garden and tables so we dined in comfort under a huge tree. The route back to Porlock was reasonably dry with plenty of views across to Wales. The walk was 7 miles with about 1370 ft of ascent.
