Day 2 Ogbourne St George to Woolstone.
11.5 miles and boy am I out of condition! However we made it and it was such a lovely day, with wonderful views and such a huge variety of wild flowers - bluebells, cowslips, violets, gorse, speedwell and lots more. Even Swindon looked vaguely mysterious through the haze. The best sight of all, when my poor old feet were ready to give out, was our friend Alan, who appeared in or path and carried our bags by car the last mile. Then when we got to the end he transported us a mile further to our b&b for the night. The White Horse Inn was a great find. The pub is old and full of character, but the accommodation is modern and extremely comfortable, which was exactly what we needed. A relaxing meal with Alan and Diana followed by deep dreamless sleep re-energised me for the challenge of day 3.
