It was a nice enough walk today but there isn’t really much you can take meaningful pictures of - there are distant views but they don’t come out in iPhone pictures. Easy, level walking again, quite samey.

The long barrow was quite impressive - very long!

| The church in Letcombe Regis - note blue sky! |
My Airbnb in Wantage was a few miles north of the Ridgeway. I’d expected a slightly deprived town like Swindon, but it’s actually very affluent, full of beautiful, pristine mansions and cottages.

I have the whole Airbnb flat to myself and it’s very nice but like an icebox as the heating isn’t on.
I couldn’t get any hot water either and the hostess hasn’t replied to any of my messages. I finally found a switch for the water in her bedroom so had a bath late this evening. I was really cold till that point, despite wearing all my jackets.
Was really annoyed with myself today for losing one of my nice lambswool gloves. Must have dropped it out of my pocket even though I thought I was being careful.
Had a chat with Elizabeth this evening about lightweight hiking gear. Exciting!
