Ridgeway Walk – Aston Rowant to Goring
Walked 20 miles, saw lots of cute lambs, and drank holy water.
Ridgeway Walk – Coombe Hill to Aston Rowant
20.5 km
5 hrs
A self-sufficient hike along the Ridgeway
The Ridgeway is the oldest road in Europe, it’s about ninety miles long, and I want to walk along it
I think I can do it in eight or nine days, and want to do it completely self-sufficiently. This means carrying all of the food and drink I’ll need throughout the trip.
