Mendip way walk ...... Weston Super Mare to Frome 50 miles

This year I have decided to take on the challenge of this walk over the Mendips. This route is particularly apt for me as James was born in Weston and I was born in Frome. Every year since I lost James i take on a challenge to raise money for The Aortic Centre Trust and keep James's memory alive.
