Ridgeway - Day 1 - Overton Hill to Ogbourne St George

Today I started my long held goal of walking the Ridgeway.

It felt silly going all the way to Avebury and not going around the World Heritage sites there, so I added an additional section, putting an extra 5 miles and two and a half hours onto the start of the walk.  Val walked with me for most of this extra bit - so I even appear in some of the photos !

Once on the Ridgeway, I did about 10 miles to Ogbourne St George where hopefully Val would be waiting for me with the car !
