It was a nice overcast day, with a good mild tailwind all the way. Unfortunately, we got lost in Pewsey, and if not for Les' skillful map-reading it would have been much worse. While we were chatting to a local near Wilcott, he informed us that Lady Serena Rothschild had just driven past us on the remote little back road. The 'farm' nearby was extremely swish, so I suppose it must belong to the Rothschilds.
Even the farm walls had thatched tops!
Then we got completely lost again near Bagshot, and luckily our Osmand map app saved our bacon again.
The autumn colours are (at last) starting to appear. The Wiltshire countryside is very much rolling green hills and plains, with very apparently well-kept farms.
Route: Devizes - Beechingstoke - Pewsey - Wootton Rivers - Stibb Green - Crofton - Hungerford - Kintbury - Newbury.
