Charo from Spain joined us for a day, and was a great addition!

At our first school of the day,Cameley Primary School, one of the students prepared a very creative poem about harmony.

Art was abundant at Cameley Primary School, on the walls, and in the students hearts.

Thank you for the brilliant rendition of the Harmony Run song.

We owe Mrs. Lodite a lot of gratitude for organizing our visit to her school.

What a cute face!

The landscape was ancient and incredibly scenic.

The students at Wells Central Junior School met us outside on a beautiful sunny day.

We shared many laughs...

...and teachers and friends connected.

Thumbs up for harmony!

It was a hair-raising experience...in a good way.

For the United Nations Year of Forests we planted a Harmony Tree with the kids.

Which one do we run with?

After the school, we ran to Wells Cathedral...

...one of the most majestic cathedrals we've seen.

Canon Andrew Featherstone blessed the torch...

...and took off sprinting with us!

A short run away was the oldest inhabited medieval street in Europe.

We entered the beautiful sanctuary of Chalice Wells in Glastonbury.

The Silent Minute dates back to the Second World War, where the BBC and Wellesley Tudor Pole thought of the idea to have a minute of silence at 9pm every evening.

Chalice Well is one of the most famous holy wells in Britain.

Hugging the Yew Tree is supposed to be a good way to connect with nature.

Gareth Lovelock does a wonderful job sharing these beautiful gardens with the world.

The Red Spring has many legends and miracles attributed to it.

Thanks for explaining all the interesting things about the wells to us Gareth!

A quiet moment in the midst of a busy day.

The Vesica Pool shows how iron-rich the water is.

Charo insisted on carrying the table all the way up Glastonbury Tor.

Look closely

At the top of the hill the tower of Glastonbury Tor stands tall...

...with a few visitors grazing on the sides.

Perfect spot for a lunch break.

Running down was exhilirating!

a lonely cloud floats over us.

The Hoar family from Durban South Africa held the torch on their journey following their son's Cricket matches.

ahhhhh...the last run of the day!
