11:17:43 Got this new portable ice bucket for today. | 12:18:10 Tried the new Jack wings from Leon. | 12:18:20 I'm still not sure about jackfruit. | 16:02:43 Waiting for Ricardo at Paddington, who somehow managed to miss the train (he got the next one instead). |
16:19:39 Maud Heath for the train journey, which seemed appropriate as we were going to Wiltshire. | 16:25:41 Testing out the new portable ice bucket. | 17:15:14 On arrival in Swindon. | 17:21:44 Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of Swindon... |
17:47:36 Finally all reunited at the pub in Swindon for some quick (and possibly ill advised) sustenance before embarking on our walk. | 18:20:22 We got a taxi to the Hackpen White Horse, and then walked from there to Avebury. | 18:20:26 | 18:21:05 |
18:22:29 Part of the Hackpen White Horse. Hard to see up close. | 18:23:14 | 18:23:49 | 18:24:42 |
18:24:54 Lovely sky this evening. | 18:25:47 | 18:59:14 | 18:59:42 Walking along the Ridgeway. |
19:02:25 | 19:02:39 | 19:04:27 | 19:07:35 |
19:08:48 The chaps on a hill. | 19:12:35 | 19:15:34 | 19:22:54 The footpath went through a field of wheat here. A bit hard to find the path at times but it did make an interesting backdrop for photos. |
19:22:55 | 19:24:47 | 19:25:46 | 19:27:54 |
19:28:23 | 19:34:33 Looks like Jim and Andrew are heading in opposite directions here. | 19:35:05 | 19:44:45 A brief pause while Ricardo answered a call of nature. |
19:45:06 | 19:46:04 | 20:05:12 On the approach to Avebury now. | 20:06:27 |
20:19:14 Finally on the outer circle of Avebury. | 20:21:13 | 20:21:17 | 20:23:26 |
20:23:34 | 20:25:43 | 20:28:45 Avebury Stones. | 20:28:58 Maud Heath again. Bit washed out here. |
20:29:29 Stones and sheep. | 20:33:48 Oddly carved stone. | 20:35:18 | 20:36:27 |
20:49:54 After a walk around we looked for a good vantage point and settled down to watch the sunset. | 20:50:58 Ricardo safely installed at our viewing point. | 20:53:50 Maud Heath and the setting sun. | 20:53:53 |
20:55:29 | 20:55:45 The chaps on the little hill where we sat. | 20:55:47 | 20:55:50 |
20:56:02 Me with the sunset behind me. | 20:57:18 | 21:00:16 | 21:00:21 |
21:00:27 | 21:00:38 | 21:10:37 | 21:13:50 |
21:15:12 Pretty much set now. | 21:15:27 | 21:16:40 | 21:16:46 |
21:16:51 | 21:16:54 | 21:17:45 | 21:17:47 |
21:19:24 | 21:19:55 | 21:22:37 | 21:24:55 |
21:26:30 Some passers by. | 21:31:00 | 21:33:21 Jim finishing off the Nyetimber Blanc de Blancs. | 21:33:28 |
21:33:29 | 21:38:16 Goodbye sun! | 21:39:15 Time to head to the pub! | 21:39:20 |
21:40:47 On the way back down the little hill to the pub. | 21:41:41 Oddly a piano by one of the stones. | 21:41:46 | 21:43:23 We made some new friends. |
21:43:31 | 21:53:51 The Red Lion, where we waited for a taxi back to Swindon. | 22:12:04 Inside the Red Lion. | 23:46:25 Oddly a picture of Andrew's camera on the train back to London. |
