20 miles
Join me for part or
all of the epic Wiltshire White Horse Trail walking challenge!
The White Horse Trail Wiltshire is a 90 mile walk taking in all eight
existing white horses cut into the county’s chalk hillsides.
I have split the walk into 7 circular routes (15-20miles each). This
is a great opportunity for both 3-booters and strong 2-booters to test
out their long distance stride without climbing any mountains. The
routes are all on established paths with no more than 500m of ascent
per walk. If anyone completes all 7 walks with me I will try to source
us some sort of commemorative souvenir to mark the achievement!
Starting from the Devizes White Horse (cut to mark the Millennium) at
Roundway we will initially join the Wansdyke (medieval defensive
linear earthwork), before bearing north to Avebury, passing by Silbury
Hill (prehistoric artificial chalk mound). North of Avebury we cross
Windmill Hill (a Neolithic causewayed enclosure) before heading south
via the Cherhill White Horse (1783-4) and returning to the car park.
This walk will be quite fast paced in order to complete before dark
(bring torches just in case).
Approximately 500m ascent.
