April 26 Oxford to Weymouth

I had to get up at 5.30 this morning to change the gas bottle because the heater had stopped and it was very cold outside. Gaye has come down with a cold or worse so after a coffee I got my bike down off the rack and headed into Oxford for a look around as the city woke up. It was a beautiful morning and Oxford looked stunning. After a look around I headed back to the motorhome where we got ready for the day and eventually headed off at about 9 am.
We planned to stop at the Stonehenge carpark for a coffee and keep going but decided once we arrived to go and check out the stones. Very impressive. I have no idea how they could get the top stones up on the supporting ones.
After a bite of lunch in the van we headed off to Durdle Door on the Jurassic Coast. Because of a road closure we ended up on some narrow and at times one way roads which was interesting but we saw some lovely villages along the way.
At Durdle Door we clambered down the steep track to see the rock formation and then crawled back up. A bit too much for Gaye.
We then travelled past the Ormiston White Horse before a quick look at Weymouth and then on to our camp for the night at Higher Moor Farm Campsite. A very nice camp.
Gaye is shattered so an early night is on the cards.Læs mere
