| Description | This was a surprisingly disappointing circular walk based on the Wessex Ridgeway in Wiltshire. |
| Pack | Today I carried my 30-litre Karrimor rucksack, filled with waterproofs, a book and other odds and ends. |
| Condition | I had a little trouble with my toes and feet on this walk, which turned out to be due to my toe nails not having bene cut recently. Aside from this I had no real problems. |
| Weather | The day was grey, woth no sight of the sun at any time. There was a periodic light drizzle, and at lunchtme I changed into my coat. It was not a warm day, and there was a slight breeze to chill me as I walked. |
