A walk off the Ridgeway.

we've had that damp gloom all day here, but glad you got a bit of sunshine and enjoyed your walk.

I love the prehistoric landscapes and have walked bits of the ridgeway too.

At least you had some exercise in the fresh air Angela!

Thanks for your comments, ladies. We've been up there in all weathers before and although it's lovely to see the views on bright days, the dwindling of the light and the muffling by the mist makes for a far more atmospheric walk. We went this way on a Christmas Day once and chanced upon a group flying Harris hawks. They were spectacular to see.

You described the scene so well and really captured the atmosphere as the weather began to change.

As Chris said, you’ve really captured the mood of the day and your country walk. Great narrative, Ange.
We had another nice day yesterday, Saturday. Once the fog lifted that is. Today, it has been misty and damp, but, the sun is reaching through now.
I managed to do some garden tidying yesterday, it was pretty mild in the sun.

That's a fascinating series of pics Anget -really atmospheric and a bit spooky too... What a pity the lettering has worn off the milestone - they are getting scarce these days. You were lucky not to get soaked!

W'rose, it's on the North Wessex AONB so is really worth walking as much of it as we can. We're not far from Avebury which has real 'atmosphere'.

Kate, the sun came out fully as soon as we got home. A weird day with odd light effects. At least the mist blotted out the view of Swindon from the escarpment. Enough said!

Yorks, yes, we were well wrapped "in case".

What a nice walk that is, and you have had a lovely mix of weather, I love trees whatever the season , the weather looks moody, trees are ghostly, reminds me of a lane here in Derbyshire where dick Turpin would ride.

Yes, Julien, it is a pleasant area. In the opposite direction is an Iron Age hill fort which all the children like to climb over. You can see 360 degrees up there. Have you encountered Dick yet??

It looks a nice place for a walk, it must have a different feel on different on different days.

Not yet Anget, but on this lane where I worked, I asked the lady if I could bring my meter detector thinking that if Dick Turpin had travelled along here he may have buried his treasure, so imagine how I felt when suddenly it beeped frantically and it registered coins, only to find a few old fifty and ten pences, on telling the lady of my find she suddenly remembered she hid some coins for her grandkids to find , it was fun though thinking I may find something, that Iron Age fort sounds good.

At least a small reward for your efforts, Julien!

It does, Hywel.
