The Ridgeway

23rd April, St George's Day.

Today was my longest off-road cycle ride for at least 8 years.  Moonface dropped me at Streatley, then I rode unsteadily back towards Chippenham along the Ridgeway and other tracks, passing the Uffington White Horse, Waylands Smithy, Barbury Castle, Avebury, Silbury Hill, Cherhill old airfield,  a canal path and a disused railway line.Five thousand years of history and wide-ranging views of an idealised England.

The kites were flying on the Eastern section, dozens wheeling and soaring above and below me.
