Aldbourne Circular - Part 2

...an extra 7 miles

After waving goodbye to Theia and co. at mile 12 ( I think) the remainder of the group sat down and ate cake. Very good cake too - poppy seed.

We then set out again, heading a little further east of our original route and eventually followed a nice quiet and fairly flat road back towards Aldbourne. There we made a stop at a local pub for "possibly the best Pepsi in the world!" before finally hauling ourselves out of our seats and persuading our stiff legs to start working again for the final stretch on the Ridgeway.

We were treated to beautiful sunsets and good weather as we retraced our steps back to our start point and even found time to pose for a few photos. Prom's other half was particularly impressive, keeping pace with us all the way round and smiling even though I'm sure the full distance of the walk hadn't been really been properly realised until about mile 15!



 



Back at the car, we piled in and set off to find a pub. Within 20 minutes, we all felt as if we had aged 60 years and found that staying still in one place was going to be the best option for the rest of the evening.
