Up and Down the Downs

This walk was from just past Kingsclere, towards White Hill, up to the ridge, along the gallops, then back down towards Echinswell and looping back to the car.

White Hill Gallops - a warm-up walk

Parked Billie the Jazz in a lay-by on White Hill Road B3051 and walked up the hill to the gallops that form part of the Sydmonton Estate, currently owned by Andrew Lloyd-Webber. Walked to the top of of the gallops to the plaque for Richard Adams.

It was a beautiful evening and the view was fabulous

Walked back to the car again and headed home happy to have managed a decent uphill walk.
