Early Morning Walk to Avebury
Saturday 12th March 2022
It certainly wasn't a great night's sleep, with the wind and the rain, but probably an improvement on previous attempting at wild camping. Was all packed up and on the move by around 7am, and had a lovely morning walk to Avebury.

View of my tarp at first light.

05:48:48
A bit more visible here.

06:44:34
Couldn't quite catch the sunset because of the clouds / mist but what I could see of it was quite pretty.

06:44:40
Part way through packing up - I thought I'd take a last photo of my tarp before I took it down.

06:58:16
The trees atop Milk Hill in the morning light.

06:58:20
Quite misty still at this point.

07:01:29
More mist down in the valley as I headed round to Tan Hill.

07:09:15
The mist lifting now, and it was turning into a rather glorious morning.

07:10:44
Lovely rolling hills as seen from Tan Hill.

07:21:42
Passing through the Wansdyke one last time - I had originally thought this might have been a nice place for a wild camp, but it was just a bit too far to get to last night. Also rather full of sheep this morning.

07:21:47

07:26:13
Morning sun across the fields.

07:30:34
Lovely Wiltshire countryside, headed in the direction of Avebury.

07:33:42
Silbury Hill, with a lot of zooming in.

07:42:52

07:50:28
A few deer prancing about along the other side of the field I was passing through.

07:50:31
Zoomed in as much as I could to try and catch a shot of the deer. Sorry it's a bit grainy.

07:50:37
Unfortunately rather blurry!

07:50:37
Ah that's a bit better.

07:53:09
Silbury Hill again.

07:57:16
A couple of sarsen stones by the wayside.

08:21:30
I thought this made a nice scene - you can see the spire of East Kennet church in the distance.

08:24:12
Um, I guess this tree looked more interesting in real life.

09:00:31
Approaching Avebury now, on the West Kennet Avenue. I was mostly focusing on taking video here, so hardly any photos.

09:11:31
...and finally in Avebury.

09:12:54
I was rather intrigued by "Milkbot".

09:16:39
Journey's end - The Red Lion in Avebury. The day's walking all finished by 9:15! Got the bus from here to Swindon, then the train from there back to London.
