Ridgeway

This ancient road has been walked for almost five thousand years, when camped here I have amazing dreams, as if I am witnessing stages in our history, travelling back as well as time visiting me; this footpath is truly awesome.

Did not waste much time packing up, the morning was bright and sunny, a welcome sight after yesterdays relentless down pour.

The Ridgeway can be illusive in that distances are not always what they appear to be.

I anticipated to arrive at Wayland Smithy long barrow much sooner, my feet were hurting too much whilst I took these pictures of our ancient ancestral heritage.

I did not stay long at Wayland Smithy as darkness was quickly approaching, my body ached and burned with tiredness, my thoughts became sloven, so I heaved my weight onto my feet and walked to Uffington Hillfort and pitched up my tent for the night.
