Footpath at Yeovil Junction This is the start of the footpath from Yeovil Junction towards Clifton Maybank. A machete would have been helpful to break through the undergrowth - I was attacked by brambles and nettles. At some points it was almost impenetrable but it was the marked path so I persevered and finally emerged into open ground. The irony was, with a little local knowledge, I would have known that I could have easily strolled through an adjacent field to avoid the hassle!
