No detours today, with a bit of an anti-climatic end on low level roadside paths through Streatley.

| View North |
 |
| The Ridgeway is effectively a concrete road here |
 |
| Oh - do I turn here ? |
 |
| Ah yes - a turn in the road |
 |
| A Lapwing |
 |
| There are a lot of private gallops around here |
 |
| Over the old Compton Railway line |
 |
| It's unusual to be able to see this far south from the Ridgeway |
 |
| About half way through today's journey |
 |
| There are some types of litter I don't expect to find in the middle of nowhere ! |
 |
| I'm getting used to this sort of view |
 |
| Which way ? Why uphill of course ! |
 |
| Rolling Hills |
 |
| First time the trees have covered the Ridgeway |
 |
| Rolling Hills and Rural Houses |
 |
| Why isn't the Ridgeway up there ? |
 |
| Nearly at Goring now |
 |
| About half way along the *whole* route |
 |
| There's money in these parts ! |
 |
| Roadside towards Streatley |
 |
| Lardon Chase to the south of us |
 |
| Back to civilisation (?) |
 |
| Streatley |
 |
| Streatley Meadows |
 |
| St Mary's Streatley |
 |
| Over the Thames |
 |
| Over the Thames a 2nd time ? |
 |
| Over the Thames a third time ?!? |
 |
| And this cute cottage is the end of the road for me. |
 |
| I'm not following the sign ! |
 |
| The emergency support team pick me up from the car park. |
