    Some blue sky early on ! So back to the track or at least the old Roman road , the Ermin way which heads NE towards Ashbury folly past Bishopstone village .

    It’s a blustery day

    Wayland’s Smithy a large neolithic barrow from 3700BC covered with Sarsen boulders

    Onto Uffington horse near Woolstone - the oldest such horse in the country carved some 3000 yrs ago but it’s purpose unknown !

    Onto Whitehorse hill close to Lambourn valley( home to horse training stables ) also Uffington castle with a fantastic panorama and just below the horse with best view from Dragon Hill.

    The Ridgeway is pretty flat but it has its ups and downs however villages and accommodation is down the hill !Slight detour north to Letcombe Bassett and Regis where it’s beer time again
    Rest the bones and tomorrow it’s back up the hill to the Ridgeway again !
