[Captain_Slash]

Distance 120 miles/192 km

Ludgershall Castle ruins was on todays new places to visit list

Fields galore of rape seed out in this area





I have stopped at this unknown tower many times but today was the first time it has ever been unlocked and open

















Wilton windmill was the next stop

That smoke tells me that it is a steaming day at Crofton Beam Engines







Everything is here, the railway line, the Kennet & Avon canal plus the beam engines

Clear water underneath

But the top looks horrible

















Riding back towards home and this Church is just off the main road



I wonder how long I can resist the temptation to take the GS down these unpaved tracks





Water is flowing through the fields and villages at the moment

Well today was a scorcher and the hottest day of the year so far, everytime I stopped to walk around it was in t shirt and shorts

Easy meal tonight of Bratwurst, beans and wholemeal bread
