The adventure begins! Hills. Views. Bluebells. Marvellous

Don’t forget drone. Try to stay on track. Iron age hillforts. Inquisitive cows

Steep climb. Rampisham Down disappointment. No wrong turnings. Golden Cap treat

Hard work. Steep climbs. Much swearing. Sign a visitor's book. Ditch printed instructions

A day of many 'Wow!'s. Hambledon Hill

A day of highs. Bluebells & more bluebells. Goodbye Dorset

A trail in a day. Cranborne Chase

Old Sarum. River Avon

River Avon. Salisbury Plain. Stonehenge

The stage that has everything - river, canal, cygnets, quaint villages, climbs, gorgeous landscapes, a chalk horse and history by the bucketload!

An early climb. Views galore. Another white horse. Another hillfort. Gallops. A late descent off the ridge

2 more hillforts. A 5000 year old long barrow. A 3000 year old chalk horse. Outstanding views
