Reasonable weather to start as my path takes me under the hill made famous by Peter Gabriels Solsbury hill iron age fort on top!, gentler scenery down here soft underfoot pastures leading to a nice chat with a lady called Charlotte, who mentioned Jane Seymour used to live in this area back in the 60's.
Onto a b road and a slow ascent uphill through woodland thick with wild garlic, and the occasional mediating local..... Nice place to find your zen!
The road uphill naturally steepened onto a flat plain, here an RAF base with signs saying 'Prohibited place' due to the official secrets act high security fencing being only scrubby hawthorn bush hedges.... High security indeed!
At this point I'm now walking in the footsteps of the Romans along Fosse way and I was to do that for the rest of the day!
Largely flat and easy walking got me to the pub at a place called The Gibb.... Place of hangings presumably?
Nice bar maid paid for my coke!
And off I went on the Fosse again, unlike rather north the Fosse is quiet here alternating between B road and by way just easy walking! While I dodged the rain 😎
It's on one of the Byway sections that I'm now camped, some interesting comments from dog walkers but I doubt I'll upset any farmers just here! Night all!
