Liz's sketches 1

These photos don't do justice to Liz's sketches, they were taken in bright sunlight, on my knee, some camera shake and possibly a few are upside down 😂😂. They aren't in order either. Contact Liz to see the proper sketches.

Sunday 11th June, Ogbourne St George to Hill Barn, Sparsholt Firs

No trail hunger for us, we couldn't manage all our dinner last night and definitely no dessert, which is always disappointing I find. Once we sorted out our rattly bedroom door we slept well enough. Breakfast was just what we wanted with lots of fresh fruit and yogurt plus toast and croissants, and once we sorted out that we had paid, collected our packed lunch we started walking at about 8:45. My only comment would be that not everyone is cut out to run a B and B! Today was our longest day, about 26kms from Ogbourne St George to very near Sparsholt Firs. Our aim was to arrive at 17:00, hoping that the 58% chance of thunder at 16:00 would be late. We meandered our way out of Ogbourne St George in the warm and sticky weather, then back up onto the Ridgeway. A lot has been written about accomodation on the Ridgeway as most of it entails going down and down to the villages, which then of course means up and up and up in the morning. Tonight's B and B is right on the Ri...

Tomorrow, 10th June, my sister Liz and I will start walking The Ridgeway Trail from Overton Hill near Avebury to Ivanhoe Beacon.

It's going to be hot, we are packing light.

Thursday 15th June, Watlington to The Plough, Cadsden

So in the interests of full disclosure, I forgot that we missed a turning yesterday. The Ridgeway has been really well signposted all the way, unlike the Coast to Coast! We had just seen a group of three day walkers who we had chatted to earlier. They were sitting in the church yard at Nuffield having a snack as we strode past. Anyway we missed our turn and as on principle we don't retrace our steps especially if someone might see us, we made the next bit up and bimble bumbled across a golf club avoiding wild balls flying in our direction. Nobody knew so it didn't happen!  At 3:00am this morning it was light outside and in our tent! Tired campers.  Today there was no breakfast provided, there also weren't several other things, really not a fan of glamping. So we got packed up and ate instant porridge with a hot chocolate using our sporks which luckily we had brought with us.  Liz went back to wearing her walking boots today as flat sneakers were just creating more painful...
