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.
