Of course I didn't really sleep very well, so not long after it started to get light enough to see where I was going, I packed up and started walking again.

04:50:59
The track in the early morning light.

04:51:11
Me out on the trail in the early morning, temporarily wearing my super lightweight insulated jacket as it was a bit chilly to begin with.

04:57:27
Piles of timber by the track side.

04:58:52
The moon still visible.

05:22:01
Crossed over the A303 here.

The A303.

05:32:32
Followed this rather overgrown path along a field edge.

05:35:20
Looking back to where I had come from this morning so far.

05:43:16

05:43:21
Seems to be getting misty over there now.

05:46:00
However the skies were clearing in the direction I was headed.

05:51:07
Scabious, my old friend.

05:54:47
Fonthill Bishop.

05:57:45
I had a lovely surprise a little further on, this very grand gate, part of the Fonthill Estate.

05:58:05
I was very glad I took this detour as this was a lovely spot to walk through.

05:58:53

05:59:37
Me and the gate.

05:59:51

06:00:21
Through the other side of the gate.

06:02:28
Really lovely landscape alongside Fonthill Lake, a great place to be at this hour of the morning.

06:03:59
Silly sheep.

06:08:51
Very grand trees in the grounds of the Fonthill Estate.

More views of Fonthill Lake.

06:15:55

06:20:11
Looks like some sort of event was taking place across the lake.

06:20:54
A large wedding perhaps?

06:21:08
Swans on the lake.

06:21:26

06:25:35
Fonthill Lake, looking rather majestic I thought.

A very overgrown path along side a field of corn, on the final stretch of today's walk between Fonthill and Tisbury.

06:43:05

06:48:47
The road leading to Tisbury.

06:50:49
Quite happy to arrive at Tisbury, once again my feet had got wet in the dew and were a little sore by this point.

07:03:20
Tisbury.

07:04:23

07:06:06

07:11:28
The station at Tisbury.

07:30:53
The river near the station - I'd popped back into the town centre to pick up some breakfast.

08:02:22
On the train from Tisbury back to London.
