Canal Rage and Crooners (From Wootton Rivers to Savernake Forest by Canal and Rail)
The first leg of this walk takes in the canal towpath and then turns north to return to Wootton Rivers via the Savernake Forest, somewhere I have long intended to explore but somehow never have. As ever my route took in a church.


Little Bedwyn to Hungerford by Canal – Crossing Borders
This is the second in my series of walks along and around the Kennet & Avon Canal, and another of our occasional cross border raids – this time into Berkshire.


Coombe Bissett, Great Yews and Homington
A visit to the lovely villages of Coombe Bissett and Homington. Taking in the ancient, dark and mysterious Great Yews and encountering not one but two Anubis.

An escapist quest to walk along the length of the Shire Rack the ancient boundary that exists between Wiltshire and Dorset. A mystical area of the Cranborne Chase National Landscape where creatures and heroes of myths and legends must surely still exist.


Chasing Romans
For this day of splendid isolation I returned to the Deverills, not so very far from the border with Dorset


A Wiltshire Hedge Layer
When was the last time you saw a hedge that had been layed? A rare sight I would suggest. An ever rarer sight is a hedge layer


A Prehistoric Metropolis on Salisbury Plain
The glory of the Plain is that in areas that are not red flagged the walker is free to roam anywhere other than woodland
