Ran through Edford Meadows which has been freshly cut for hay a buzzard took off and flew up into the trees. Continued on over Ham Hill following the remains of The Dorset and Somerset Canal which was never finished and past Tufa Falls spotted Fox skulking around behind Ham Farm. From Ham headed across the fields to Edford Woods then through Harridge Woods and past Keepers Cottage which is home to six species of bats including the rare greater horseshoe. 
Down through the lost village of Fernhill and past St. Dunstans Well to Stoke Bottom frightening a Roe dear grazing in the field. Skirting around Edford Woods and again following the remains of the canal and up onto the packhorse bridge which would have traversed the canal if it had been completed. Up the pack horse trail following the footpaths to come out by the Holcombe Inn, across the fields to a Silver Street and across the playing fields. Down Budds Lane across Common Lane following the footpath back to Holcombe Hill. Just over 7 miles much cooler this evening but still very close, I think I even felt a couple of spots of rain.
