The Wessex Ridgeway – Avebury to Abbotsbury

In September 2019 I am planning to walk from the stone circles at Avebury (“The Stones”) to St Catherine’s Chapel in Abbotsbury.  St Catherine being the Third Century martyr tortured and broken on a Wheel  (“The Wheel”).  The route will take me from Wiltshire, across Salisbury Plain and Cranbourne Chase along the pathways of the old Wessex Ridgeway.  I will then head south through Dorset to the coast at Abbotsbury.

The route is about 135 miles with a few extra for detours off to accommodation.  Whilst walking I will be contemplating my sixty years of life on this planet we call Earth.  A full of index of posts of my adventures along the way will be posted here.
