Worth the effort Getting up early and climbing the Tor has brought its rewards. Dawn breaks and there are a good half a dozen intrepid visitors, each receiving the first light of a new day together.

Somerset sinking in a sea of fog The lowlands at the foot of Glastonbury Tor are prone to many weathers, today's being a thick blanket of fog as dawn breaks. The villages of Edgarley and Havyatt are just about able to see the light. Given the promising forecast, they won't have to wait too long as the sun chases the fog away.
